P.S. please make sure to check content warnings from reviewers. The content warnings on the main StoryGraph page for this novel are lacking, and many people understate just how upsetting this novel can be.

Acts of self-harm and suicide attempts are described in detail, often, with little respite. Descriptions of rape and child abuse are described in painful detail and are designed to make you angry. This novel is not for the faint of heart or those in a bad state of mind.rebekkamafia's review against another edition

The story took me on a rollercoaster of emotions and I wanted to dislike this book, a lot. Especially after it made ugly cry for hours. But I can’t. It is just so beautifully written.
5 ⭐️ but be prepared to be sad and heartbroken.
