I loved the prose and writing style. Machado does an excellent job of casting light on a topic that is not given much of a stage. There were moments when I audibly gasped and screamed! I was hooked from the first few pages. This is a heavy read, though. I think I’m going to need a mental health break for my next book.
Lastly, this took incredible strength, courage and vulnerability for Machado to write this and release it to the world.
