challenging dark sad slow-paced

3.5

This requires quite a few content warnings, so I’ll include them below!

This was an intense read. I had to skim over some parts that were triggering. But other parts really drew me in and I finished it off in 2 sittings 😳

I can’t say that the writing itself was particularly engaging, but the content was fascinating! I can’t believe it’s based on a true story either. 3.5/3.75 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨

It’s very different from the movie on the same way that “Perks of Being a Wallflower” is different from the movie. It’s in more of a character-focused, almost diary entry format with significantly less plot than the movie.
