Every tiger warning possible with vivid descriptions of the realities of mental illness and it’s impact on those around you. It has 3 chapters each told be a different person. For me the 2nd chapter and POV wasn’t quite as strong as the first and last chapters. The final chapter earned it 5 starts -  beautifully written. Short yet worthwhile read

Edit on August 2023: 5 stars ⭐

A very difficult read for me, unbearably graphic and exceptionally dark. I'll probably find myself thinking about the contents of this book for years to come. Unless I'm seriously deluded, this book is not about vegetarianism.
