This was a challenging read, but ultimately so rewarding. At times it was very hard to continue reading, but I also could not put it down. I loved this book, despite all it put me through as a reader, and now I really want to read interviews with the author. I highly recommend checking the content warnings on this book, especially if you have strong sensitivities regarding children and animals.
