Every word slipped in under the skin, inch by inch, left me zoned out & felt miserable. I give 5/5 bcs of the feeling I got whenever I picked up & continued where I left. Experiencing some kind of drowning, getting choked, & inability to breathe. Triggering bad thoughts, regrets, everything bad bad bad. However, I enjoy it as enjoyable as marking some lines.
