Emotional, bleak, and frustrating in all the right and wrong ways. It dragged, then hit, then dragged again. But when it hit, it hit. Some characters I wanted to hug. Others I wanted to scream at.
Relationships carried this story. If you like your trauma tender and messy, you might vibe with it.
Not quite for me, but I get why it’ll be everything to someone else.
