Innocents

The story blends intense emotional scenes with tender ones, which kept me hooked. I wonder what led to this approach in storytelling.

Their choices felt so real but sometimes uncomfortable — it made me question how much empathy we should extend. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

Usually, YA high school stories focus on innocence or coming-of-age in a lighter way. This book's gritty tone made me curious about the author's influences.
