A challenging read, to say the least. A little flowery in the prose at times, but well written nonetheless.

francienolans's review against another edition

dark sad medium-paced

3.5

3.5-4 stars 
That was a rough read., there some moments that I wasn’t sure I could get thru it. Her writing style is excellent even with the heavier topics at hand or heavier moments. She knows how to pull you into a story and make you sit with that uncomfortableness.
