This book was brutal, and it will definitely stay with me.
For the first 150-200 pages, I felt it went too slowly, but then I could hardly put the book down. I thought it was kind of underwhelming at the supposedly most cathartic parts, but then I also found myself thinking about said parts over and over again.
It would be great to reread it so I can better appreciate all the little details now that I know the full story, but it's just too depressing. Maybe some time in the future.
