Reading this book made me very emotional. For one, I know what it feels like to be the one who comes from a low income family surrounded by those who don’t have to worry about how they’re going to get their next meal.

Secondly, Alice is the kind of character that puts a lot on her shoulders and I feel like a majority of us, especially in this day and age, can relate to that. 

This book was so well written and it starts off slow, but it begins to pick up after a few reads. I was close to putting it down because of how slow it was building up, but I wanted to give it a chance and I’m glad I did!

The characters grasp you like a warm hug. You feel apart of them as the story takes you on their journey. I felt most connected with Chanel, hard to believe to be honest. Obviously not status wise, but what was going on with her family. And her personality, I just got her.

I feel like I’ll read this book again at some point. And I don’t wanna get too into it because spoilers, but my personal review is gonna be way longer than this. Ann did her big one. A book I’ll think about forever.
