I knew nothing about this book except for the title, and I was surprised at how painful it was to listen to.

4.0

Raw, powerful; I enjoyed reading the afterword and understanding more of Mailhot’s writing process. It read quickly, almost urgently - part of my wishes to have tasted the words for longer, but it drew me in and I felt the intensity that the author felt during the moments she was recounting.
