The writing is fantastic! The audiobook is so gripping, but this story is riddled with trauma, abuse, and injury, so while it can be described as shocking, I’d rather not editorialize. The truth of this book is that it is a powerful story, expert;y written and told, and the content itself, speaks for itself. While there is much to look into about this book, it also knows it’s own voice and limitations, and chooses to focus solely on its themes and the emotions felt which ultimately grant it more impact. Id love to hear more from this author, perhaps a few essays.
