While much of the content is troubling, disturbing, and hard, this book was worth the discomfort. I don't want to give anything away, but do make sure you read the Afterword.

This was a journey! While horror is normally not my genre of interest, the description of this book got me. I had no idea what the next twist and turn would be, which marks a good book in my opinion. This was hard to read due to the content it tackles but this book was absolutely amazing.

It’s heavy, but it has a sad twist at the end that you will not expect.
