It was a success and received 4.4o out of 5 from 280,306 ratings and 33,859 reviews.
Kirkus wrote a review about this book that goes, “This story is moving. It will make you think about things that are uncomfortable to think about. It will lift your heart, devastate you at times, make you proud, fill you with sorrow and make you smile. It will move you. It’s powerful and intense in the best way, but also has hopeful and lighter moments. The story itself is one that has been heavy on my heart from the moment I finished it.”
