This book is beautifully written and depicts homelessness so well
It is a bit slow at times
The ending of the book was poor and left me very disappointed
I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
An interesting idea behind this story story but it didn't really work out as it felt staid and forced.
An OK read.
Aria's desperate journey through the foster care system and subsequent abuses force her to set out on her own, homeless and afraid. The author shows a deep understanding of this current problem in our world and takes it to many levels of understanding. Poignant and sensitive.
I didn't realize this book was by the cult leader. I can't in good faith recommend it to anyone. The writing style was good and the character well developed but I can't support her or her work.
This was an ok read for me. I enjoyed the concept of Aria running away and becoming involved with another homeless teen. However, I just felt like it was too upbeat of a read for the subject matter. I couldn't feel the characters' struggles as I read.
This book is beautifully written in its stark depiction of homeless and, although a little slow at times, the detail with which Aria’s world is built really draws you in. However, the ending of this book left me disappointed and ultimately left me feeling cheated. It seemed unnecessary to add in the trope of ‘boy falling instantly for a girl he doesn’t know’ and, for a story that shows the harsh reality of homelessness, this feels too fanciful.
