I don’t think I want to go five but DAMN. Damn. I’m not going to forget this one ever. (Plus, there’s a sequel and I ordered immediately!) This novel in verse is often a banned book and I GET IT. It’s a hard hard haaaard book. I *thought* I got why it was banned very early into reading, but then it just kept piling on. (If you’re a content warning person- here’s the warning. For all of it. All of em. It’s ALL in here.) Going in 100% blind paid OFF on this one; sure, I know how Hopkins normally goes but this was Hopkins to the extreme. She went HARD. I’ll be very vague: What I thought this was about in the beginning…wasn’t what it ended up being about at all. I LOVED the progression of these five stories. I love what she did here. I love how she ultimately wove it together. It was scandalous and hard to read and so awful…but kinda wonderful too. VERY curious about the sequel.
