This book wrecked me! Definitely pay attention to the warnings, this was not an easy book to read. I dont even know how to write a review for this....it was dark, it was violent, and poor Mae went through more than any girl her age should ever have to go through. But it was also a story of love and redemption, it was bittersweet, and you should definitely make sure you have some tissues on hand, you'll need them! 
 I've already got the second book to read, and while this is the first book I've read by this author, I'll definitely be reading other books by her.
