emotional reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A

5.0

I don't give memoirs or raw emotional books anything less than a five. This book has EVERY trigger you can think of. Take the warning seriously but this is someone's life.
