What is your opinion?

Emotional and raw

"This story has explores a very heavy theme and does it really well, I loved the emotional depth. The descriptions are vivid and cinematic, making it easy to picture the bleak setting. Calla's voice feels genuine and so is her perspective on pregnancy and homelessness. If I would have to offer anything, I'd say slow down the big moments a bit, let them have their impact on the reader. Overall, a compelling read and I would have kept reading if this was longer."
