I appreciate that this is a literary work but I am going to be honest, I did not have the patience to continue given the formatting. It took too much brain power in a bad way.

This book is epic, this book is poetry, this book is a life lesson.
I don't have the words.
This is original, this is an unique experience.
The fact that it is narrated in stream of consciousness makes it really difficult to read but it adds something.
!!!! THERE ARE A LOT OF TRIGGER WARNINGS AND DIFFICULT SCENES !!!!
