It was a really good book! „IT“ haha well… iykyk. It discussed a really harsh and brutal topic in a very accurate but not terrifying way. The book does a great job at putting some light on really dark topics and presenting hope and growth, trough the metaphor of a tree (wonderful btw), as the key solution for trauma.
