A beautiful and tough coming of age novel, a story of betrayal. The book follows three friends and how they trying to navigate through life. Itβs a very raw and real story with so many difficult moments to read about. It was definitely a tough read, the struggles the characters faced were so realistic. This book felt like a real story that could happen to anyone in real life and thatβs why it was so challenging. Sometimes it was slow and not that exciting but thatβs life.
I really liked the relationship between Pip and her grandparents and Mr. Swann. Pip definitely was my favorite character, sheβs been through so much, everyone in this book had their own struggles but hers were definitely the hardest to bear. I very much admired her strength and determination to overcome even the darkest moments.
I highly recommend reading this book, it is a very important story but definitely recommend checking the trigger warnings before going into.
