I had seen a lot of Goodread reviews that said this book was too much like The Hate U Give, so I didn't pay it much attention, but it sounds great. I just checked and Hoopla doesn't have it, so I added it to my Kindle wishlist and if it goes on sale I'll nab it! 👍✨La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-25977997345184333522019-09-15T22:16:14.266-04:002019-09-15T22:16:14.266-04:00That sounds like it would be a good read.That sounds like it would be a good read.Mary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-71667921521494036102019-09-15T21:28:27.657-04:002019-09-15T21:28:27.657-04:00This sounds so, so powerful.
