dark emotional sad

Dark, almost felt like a car crash, gruesome but you could not look away. Well written. Audiobook did not include any content warnings, btw.

Okay this is objectively a five star book, but I also wish that I could forget I read it. Just so captivating, but also incredibly disturbing. I don’t feel great after reading it, but I also couldn’t put it down.
