This is a book I really took my time with, and I’m glad I did. The subject matter is very content warning heavy, and very raw. But the message behind it was so tragically beautiful. To me the main point of this book is motherhood and what that looks like.. I was warned before I started this book that I needed to be in a certain headspace for it and I’m really really glad I waited. The story won’t be for everyone, but I really do think it’s worth the read.
