this book made me physically sick to my stomach, it was so heartbreaking. It's so hard too when something like this is so relatable because you're reading it like screaming at the narrator, the same way you would scream at your younger self, you know? Really amazing writing and very riveting for a memoir, I really could not put it down.
I took 1 star off for personal reasons that aren't 100% in fair judgement of the book but there were a couple things that irritated me that are probably not worth writing down. I definitely recommend this book, especially if you are someone who potentially has found yourself in a relationship that makes you feel unsafe, you are not alone and leaving IS AN OPTION!!
