I will carry this story in my heart forever. This book was really fucking sad and hard to read, but the story was still so beautiful, and offered just enough hope.

It has been a long time since a book has moved me like this. I was completely wrapped up in it. I cried many times, laughed, felt sick, felt enraged. I was never bored. A shocking but beautiful true story filled with trauma, heartbreak, cruelty, but also joy and hope and kindness. Masterfully written. I will be thinking about this for a long time.

This book barely lets you come up for air. It ties you up with a thin chain of hope and beauty as it drags you rampant abuse and family trauma. Not for the faint of heart (me).
