3.0
That being said, I think I could cut 200-300 pages and end up with a book that is just as deeply impactful and far less boring. There is a lot of detail that does little to actually flesh out characters or add atmosphere, that just make the story drag. Despite the other literary feats that are accomplished, there is just too much slog.
The last section,
Graphic: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Physical abuse, Rape, Self harm, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Child death, Suicide, Blood, and Kidnapping
Minor: Addiction and Vomit

I listened to the audiobook on 1x speed for the most part. It was beautifully written and very very long.
Do yourself a favour and pick the abridged version (I read unabridged) and take the content warnings seriossly!!!
