I listened to this as an audiobook and enjoyed it more than I would've by reading it myself. It was medium/slow paced, so I would recommend the audio version for people who are interested in the story but don't do well with slow books/books with little action. Definitely check the trigger warnings!
A sad and sometimes quite distressing book with heavy subject matters. Has some hope to balance it out.
