i put off reading this for so long because i knew it would hit hard, and it did. i physically gagged, almost threw up while reading this, so i don’t recommend that you read it if you have experienced any of the heavily triggering things mentioned in the trigger warnings for this book. i also wouldn’t recommend reading it if you lack critical reading skills, it probably isn’t for you.
