dark emotional sad tense

2.75

Very good writing but absolutely horrific. Reading the book summary you would never guess how dark it was. I feel like I have second hand trauma. The writer is talented in that she paints very vivid and emotional pictures with her words, but I did not like this book, was not for me.
