I've never been so happy to have finished a book 😠this was so hard to read, especially the first half, but the second one was so much better. This book was a wild ride from the first page to the very last one. So much to unpack from it. But I'm glad I could finish it. Moral of the story: be yourself, and surround yourself with people who respect, accept and motivate you to be who you are, who you really want to be. Anyone else is not worth your time.
