I really hope to see more of Ollie's POV in the next books because that epilogue was just gold!!! The poems at the start of each chapter were one of my favourite things about this book and demonstrated just how poetic and in love Ollie truly is. I love a hero who knows he loved the girl and isn't afraid to be expressive about it and to show it. Mia, the heroine, went through so much trauma and witnessing her navigating through that trauma was so emotional and heartbreaking. It was so beautifully written, the characters are so unique and I loved the amount of character development that occurred throughout the book.
You would never guess that this is the author's debut novel. It's dark and it deals with some really difficult issues so please do look up trigger warnings. I felt all the emotions with this one, it was just so so powerful. I feel like I can't fully express how much this book has touched me in such a deep way. If you have any person in your life that has disabilities, don’t read this book because you are just enabling an author who thinks it’s okay to use derogatory terms to describe them. It’s written by an American that has no idea about the UK. If you are from the UK don’t even attempt to read this book. The only thing this book is good for is firewood. I won’t even donate it because I don’t want to subject others to this Ableism book.
I’m annoyed that I’ve wasted my money on this poor excuse for a book. I’m plus if she had done her research she would known the word ‘Handicapped’ is frowned upon in the UK and isn’t used. Badly researched and Americanised the UK she tried to portray in this book. It’s an outdated and offensive word and I’m disgusted that words like that are deemed acceptable to be used for vulnerable people.Īlso, as a British person I was cringing at the American words and phases used by the British characters in this book. I’m appalled that this author thought that the word ‘Handicapped’ was an appropriate word to describe someone with disabilities.
