Every tiger warning possible with vivid descriptions of the realities of mental illness and it’s impact on those around you. It has 3 chapters each told be a different person. For me the 2nd chapter and POV wasn’t quite as strong as the first and last chapters. The final chapter earned it 5 starts -  beautifully written. Short yet worthwhile read

This is very much a story about trauma. 

It’s horrible. All the men are vile. It’s a deeply unpleasant and depressing read.

Proceed with caution I’d suggest. Check the content warnings.
