It was hard to read and quite graphic. Although I didn’t read much it was very emotional and I just couldn’t continue

3.0

The only reason I rated this 3 starts is because it’s very different from what I normally enjoy reading but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Not everything you read has to be light; if that statement resonates with you then don’t be afraid to pick up this highly acclaimed book.
