Simply put...This book was heavy for me. It's a well done book and I would say worthy of a starred review, but because it dealt with so many hard things I didn't enjoy the time I spent in Lucy's world. And it's not that it's explicit in any way, it's just real. Real life, real pain, and real coping. Most of the time I read is to escape reality, and with this book I felt like I stepped deeper into it. I appreciated reading a YA book that discusses a teen's crisis of faith. Its not very often this type of voice is heard in YA literature.
