This was an excellent read. I had to pace myself but it was worth it.
I considered giving this book a five star as I didn’t want to undersell the book and my experience with it. The story was at times uncomfortable, and although I would have preferred a different ending, but this is a book I will recommend and likely reread.
I do think the moral of the story is a little heavy handed at the end, and I would

rather have not had the flashback at the end, but then I’ve always preferred a more open ending.
