Have to admit this was a very tough read. Obviously went into it knowing the trigger warnings and context but yet, i definitely felt the heaviness. Beautiful writing and so easy to fall into Vanessa’s train of thought. I was kinda wondering when it would end at one point, and can say that I’m very very satisfied by the ending.
