Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman

This was very good, it was also hard to read*, with difficult subject matters. It made me cry multiple times. I think how you read and experience this book is really influenced by your own life experiences (though I guess that's true for every book) so I don't know if it will be as good and hard to read for others. It deals with multiple subjects matters, and while many of them are not things I know from personal experience, others are. I don't know what I want to say with this. Maybe that I think that different people can find different things in this book, and that for others it may not work at all?
Anyhow, I hate writing reviews cause I never know what to say, I don't feel like I do the books justice, but I did want to say something. Blah.
*Not literally, it sucked me in and kept me reading. It took me 6 days because I wanted to really sit for it and have time when I read it. It's not really a book you read a few pages of in between doing other things, at least not for me. Maybe that would have made it less intense though. I dunno.
