This is the first time I’ve cried at a book in a while. It was really great, but honestly but too slow paced for my liking. That’s just my personal preference though. I kept having to put down because of how frustrated or shocked I got at times. Overall a very moving but challenging book. Contains lots of TWs and very graphic at times.

No entiendo por que esto fue publicado. Es un libro muy bueno pero también muy complejo, es importante saber todos los triggers antes de leerlo.
