This book was probably one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. However I feel as though it would be irresponsible of me to recommend it.
It has EVERY trigger warning possible. IN VERY descriptive detail. It is actually miserable and I found myself dreading to read it. I’m a fast ready and this took me two years to complete. I would take well needed mental health breaks because part of me felt like it was doing me harm.
The story was beautifully written but tragic and I’m not sure what the goal was for the author besides to tell us in MANY words that life sucks.
