This book took me ages to read and had a very slow start but once I’d properly given it a chance I was hooked. I’ve never really read anything like it, it’s extremely thought-provoking and pretty devastating. Written really well, it does not excuse him at all, and makes you feel all sorts of things. An emotional rollercoaster for sure! Definitely one to pick up if you’re interested - I read the last 200 pages in almost one sitting, I couldn’t put it down.
