5.0

I read it because I wanted to see if it was worth the hype. And if it would live up to The Nightingale and The Great Alone levels of amazing. It did. I wasn’t prepared for the ending or the ugly crying. It was well worth the 15+ hours of listening.

Further info on CWs: I’m never sure on which level to list the CWs, so I listed them all under graphic. I know for sure that none of the topics I indicated were minor; everything was integral to the plot, therefore given more attention than just a passing mention.
