I will leave this book unrated. Incredibly written, painfully dark, and intensely important. Please check the trigger warnings before reading.

It has been a long time since a book has moved me like this. I was completely wrapped up in it. I cried many times, laughed, felt sick, felt enraged. I was never bored. A shocking but beautiful true story filled with trauma, heartbreak, cruelty, but also joy and hope and kindness. Masterfully written. I will be thinking about this for a long time.

This book was the darkest I've read in a very long time. I almost had to DNF it. A very difficult read for mature audiences only.
