This book about the life of Elle, is filled with every trigger warning out there. I honestly am amazed Elle has any sort of relationship with her mother at all! But the writing was lush and beautifully descriptive, the characters so real, the story heartbreaking and hopeful. I didn’t agree with every choice Elle made, and I thought many of her choices were very self-centered, but I cared deeply about her.
