I went into this book blind, it was an incredibly dark and haunting tale surrounding one woman's lifelong battle with SA and DV.
I enjoyed this book but I highly recommend looking up and checking out trigger warnings before diving in because there are a lot and only a vague mention of DV on the first page.
