“The Grace Year” by Kim Liggett
Holy holy holy crap!!! I love a good dystopian novel, but I think this one might take the cake. I may have almost cried. I may have almost screamed. I may have gotten mad and angry and happy and felt all the emotions. This book was so good that I don’t even want to tell any information about it - you may want to go in blind.
‼️‼️SKIP IF YOU WANT TO GO IN BLIND‼️‼️

How can you survive your Grace Year if the other girls and the elements of the woods are pitted against you?
