I made the mistake of reading this book all in one sitting and it actually emotionally destroyed me for a while, I had to take a break from both reading and dark media. Though the topics are handled sensitively and discussed without glorification, it was still extremely sickening.
The writing was amazing and the psychology of the characters was interesting too. I wish I’d read it across a few days but it was really gripping.
