The way this book wrecked me and put me back together. Alicia Thompson is a genius. Asa and Lauren were beautiful, sad, complex. Both of their parent relationships are so heartbreaking but the way that the trauma they faced molded them into different and stubborn people, but they could break down their walls for each other? GOODNESS GRACIOUS MY EYES. I had so many highlights for this book and now I wish Cold World was a real place. Just unbelievable.
Graphic: Abandonment
