Wow.

This is one of those stories that is going to stay with you for the rest of time. It was so difficult to read because every page read was one page closer to the story being over-- and that was heartbreaking to me. My heart ached like Louisa's and I was terrified of the end. But the journey was full of heartbreaking beauty. 

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for an ebook advance reader copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The sequel that I never knew I needed!!! 

The first book in this series was wonderful- dark, twisty, and kept me thinking until the very last page. And that very last page had the story wrapped up so nicely... or so I thought...

This was an amazing addition to the story & characters. It captured the same spirit and thrill as the first. It kept me thinking about all the different possible outcomes until the very end. I was so upset when I wasn't able to finish this one in one sitting. This is an absolute MUST READ (and when you do read it, be sure to read through the acknowledgements at the end!!).

Thank you to both NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for an opportunity to read and review this title!

Advance Reader Copy: I received a physical copy of this ARC and got about 1/3 way through. I do have interest in finishing it, however, print memoirs are challenging for me. I think I’m going to wait for publication and try the audio version (I know I’ll love it!)
