It is clear that the aftermath of abuse is horrific and hard to read about. I would not recommend this to anyone going on their own healing journey with abuse.
However, this book was written so beautifully. Even as Aphias (Fee) struggled through his life and the trials and tribulations of it, you could tell he had a certain vibrancy that kept him going.
I really grappled with this book, because with similar tones to My Dark Vanessa, it’s inconclusive ending felt as though it was cheating Fee out of something.
I’m giving this book 4 out of 5 stars ✨ Thank you!

I think, I read this for my own feelings. I knew that it was going to be hard a some points, especially when it come to the deaths. But I found a little bit of peace with everything.
It’s so weird, I didn’t go through those situations. But we both survived our traumatic events. Yes we had loads of times that made us question the whys and why nots. The guilt and shame for what happened.
But where we differ, is the healing process. I got help and still have it. I didn’t lock it away and I wish Fee would look for this help.
I can’t recommend this, but I cannot as well. I think if you can stomach the situations them you could read this. I just won’t recommend this for a good majority of people.
This deals with SA, Pedo, Suicide, Ideations, and very heavy emotions.

I almost gave this 5 stars, but it felt a little overly complicated at the end, so 4.5. Otherwise, the thoughtful way that Chee brings Fee to life, with all of his trauma, complications and vulnerability is superb. Highly recommended.
