i had been stuck on the first couple chapters for months, but finally decided to pick it back up again because of the reviews i heard… and once i understood the structure of the book and its scope, i absolutely tore through the rest of it in 2 days. absolutely captivating stories told simply but beautifully and unreservedly, and the final chapter gave me chills… an absolute must-read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
