I cant say that I fully read this book- I tried, I could not finish it. It left me feeling very dark and depressed. I get very effected by the things I consume and it just wasn’t the right book for me. I’m sure it’s a beautiful story but my body literally aches and quivers while reading it. Far too triggering for me.
