i wasn’t really that attached to mina or her relationship with sophie so i didn’t think i’d get emotional, but at the end,
when things were solved, you just feel the weight of what happened to them. it was so tragic and unfair. they were so young. they deserved a shot. they deserved better.

my heart broke with “we walk into the rest of our lives together, not knowing it'll end before it's truly started.” or better yet, it felt like my heart was ripped out.

and “mina's night-lights will endure. year after year, trev will replace them when they dim. and i know that someday, when i’m ready to come home, they'll light my way.”

i feel like throwing up. THEY DESERVED BETTER!!!!!!

I read this book immediately after "The girls I've been". I found it underwhelming on the crime and thriller side, but sweet and redemptive concerning the development and full conversation about sub-abuse and trauma.

Talking about opioid addiction, especially in teens, is often a taboo subject. I'm glad this book is here, to not shy away from the difficult issues, but also not make it the sole point of the book.
