Author includes details of her own abuse that could be triggering, as well as details of her mental illness that are intense. However, the overall arc of the book is hopeful and focuses on the author’s growth and healing from intense trauma.skillwithaquill's review

started this months ago and put it down cuz it was too upsetting at that time, but i’m so glad i finished it. it’s hopeful, and the work the author put in to get better is admirable.
