dark sad medium-paced
3.5-4 stars 
That was a rough read., there some moments that I wasn’t sure I could get thru it. Her writing style is excellent even with the heavier topics at hand or heavier moments. She knows how to pull you into a story and make you sit with that uncomfortableness.

This book was heartbreaking. I found the last 20% really challenging to finish, but overall, great and profoundly heartbreaking story about generational trauma.

I definitely do see that this story was hard to follow at times (during to the content and even writing style at times) but i felt a bit more engaged than i did when i first tried to read this back a few years ago when i got back into reading.
