From like, page 4, I couldn't put this book down. Having seen a lot of traumatic things in my life, like Maggie, and always managing to seek out those who need fixing, like West, made it really easy to relate to these characters. Maggie copes with her trauma by keeping to herself until she sees that West needs help from someone who can relate - there was a point last year where I had decided to do this, though not as extremely as becoming mute. The emotion and evolution of each character's self-reflection in relation to each other is so achingly real - something I know might be hard to believe, but I say this because it matches the timeline I've experienced. I wish this was something I had read 3+ months ago because even though this is a YA novel I found a lot of insightful moments that taught me a lot about myself and other people who have experienced bad pain. Abbi Glines does such a fantastic job painting a picture and making it come to life by using dual POV - something I hated until now I think I have read every Abbi Glines book to date and actually finished all three in this series in one weekend reviews of book 2 and 3 to follow.
