TRIGGER WARNING: Child abuse, sexual abuse, self harm, eating disorder, substance abuse, suicide, grief.
There is a paragraph in this book that sums up how I feel.
“It took us several days to read, because although it was brief, it was also endless, and we had to keep putting the pages down and walking away from them, and then bracing each other - READY? - and sitting down and reading some more”
