This would make a fantastic movie! Great story, amazing character development, but incredibly violent and gory.

This book is absolutely unreal good. Every SA book I read feels better than the last except they are all amazing. Razorblade Tears is unbelievably sad - I knew that going in - but it’s sad and witty and tense. It’s violent and gritty and I loved it.
The main point of this book isn’t the vengeance or death or violence. It’s the love and community. And realizing as a parent that we can mess up so bad but there is still time to change and grow, even if that time is physically taken from us. I will think about this book forever.
