Dark, tragic, and intense emotional damage. This is one of those stories you hate but love at the same time. I did the audio version and I was so captivated and engaged by the story and narration that it was hard to stop listening at times. I feel like I’m going to think about this book for a very long time. Highly recommend, but check your triggers.
