My rating has NOTHING to do with the quality of the prose. In fact, the writing was beautiful! However, I HATED this book for the way it depicted childhood abuse (and even r*pe). I was SO uncomfortable for the majority of this book. I sped up the audio speed just to finish it faster, I’m sorry. And the decisions the MC made??? Absolutely not.
