Warning that it is a very heavy, dark, emotional story so take care of yourself and be cautious of triggers.

The book definitely dragged in the middle, and it could be confusing as the book moved quickly through different characters, but overall this was a solid read.

One of the best books I've read this year. Beautifully written, though it deals with tough and sensitive subjects, so beware of all the trigger warnings. That said, I feel like it's a must read!parasolcrafter's review against another edition
