First I was intrigued. Then fascinated and subsequently shocked (honestly horrified). And finally I cried and felt like I was listening to a friend talking about life. 

 

Notes: 

- I bought Kindle book and borrowed the audiobook from Libby 

- I enjoyed the audiobook having male and female narrators. 

- To me this was not fast-paced as seen in Storygraph. It was medium-paced.
