Holy fuck. This book is absolutely incredible. It tackles such huge huge issues with such amazing grace and understanding. This book is definitely not for everyone and contains a very very heavy subject matter.  I read the whole thing in just under three hours, I did not put it down in single time. I literally feel it in my soul, the good and the ugly parts of it. The beauty of unconditional love in the horror of  unfathomable trauma, wrapped together in such a well written way that is so empathetic to the protagonist. I have never read a book like this before ever, and honestly I hope I never do again because nothing can top the way this book was written for this very specific mental illness. This book is so beautiful, I’m at a loss of words to describe the emotional roller coaster that this book just put me on. It is everything I’ve ever wanted from a book, but I did not realize it’s everything I wanted from the book until I read it. This is just absolutely incredibly truly one of the best books I’ve ever read.
