challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
This was a very hard story to read and finish, for obvious reason. I cried several times while reading it. It was so heartbreaking and frustrating reading Eden's way of processing and coping with her trauma, I wanted to hug and shake her at the same time. 
I recently watched "Unbelievable" series on Netflix before reading this book, it definitely proves that even if two people experienced the same thing, they won't necessarily react or cope with it the same way. So we should try to show empathy and kindness towards anyone, even though we don't understand what they're going through.
