Trigger Warning

5 stars

This is an absolute amazing book. A wonderful story written with amazingly descriptive language. It borders on poetry at points. However, be aware that this coming-of-age story deals with childhood trauma including abandonment. It's a must read, but anyone that might be triggered, do so with fair warning. I found myself crying on multiple occasions with this book.
