pikitat's review

challenging emotional hopeful reflective

5.0

Beautifully written with a perfect blend of science and personal stories. What else can I say? It's a great book and I'm glad I read it. 100% would read it again. Mind the trigger warnings and be gentle with yourself, though. The book can be a heavy read at points.
