This book brought up a lot of emotions for me & it's very dark and intense- it's a YA book and the setting is traumatized people in recovery, but over the book they tell their stories and more context is revealed.
I think when I was 15 or 16, I would have given it 5/5 stars for the emotional resonance. However for me now, the tone of writing is too YA for me, but it's something I would recommend to a young adult struggling with or looking for representation of trauma and big emotions.
