aaaaaaaaahhhh i went into this with absolutely no knowledge of anything about it and boy. anyways good book only read it if you are aware of the content warnings and ready to be sad. it's very very well written and I would recommend it but it is very tough and very real and feels like peering into the darkest part of humanity sometimes
