It’s been a couple months since I’ve read this book and I sincerely cannot stop thinking about it. I’m considering a second read through but honestly not sure if I should put myself through that. One of the most well written books I’ve read, completely devastating, yet I couldn’t put it down.

Only advice I have is to make sure you wash your face after you put the book down- apparently the salt in your tears can burn your skin. Who knew ?!

This book is so heavy and I can definitely see why people may love or hate it. I’ve just completed it and my emotions and thoughts are all over the place. Abuse and trauma takes a toll on one’s life and this book talks about it in a way that there were times where I had to put the book away because it was so raw and heavy for me but I’m still so glad I read it. I would definitely recommend this but make sure you read it when you’re in the right headspace.
