Devastating. I only know pain.
I ripped through Part I pretty casually, but by the time I finished it I literally had to put a pin in it and go back and read it all back again with tabs. The strongest feeling that I would only get to read this book for the first time once. And I was right.
Pleease check out trigger warnings, I think I have a fairly strong stomach but parts of this book were sickening and exhausting to read.
