e_m_f_reads's review against another edition

This book made me physically ill. Like I’m not even saying that I thought I might throw up. There is a scene in this book that is absolutely haunting and imo completely unnecessary I read the scene this morning and cannot stop thinking about it and feelings sick its actually harrowing.
