5.0

This book is wonderful, but it is not a light read. It deals with the aftermath of some harsh stuff-rape, pedophilia, eating disorders-and it does so in a way that's real but doesn't step over any lines it shouldn't. It doesn't make anything more dramatic than it needs to be for shock value, every just is what it is and a lot of that happens to be shitty, including Theo. She is by no means perfect and is at times selfish and confused. She's been hurt in many ways by many people including herself and her coping is self destructive, but ultimately this is a story about hope. Theo isn't "fixed" by the end of the story, and neither is Donovan, but they are both on their way to recovery.
