Fun fact: I tried reading this book 3x, but the first two attempts were unsuccessful because the plot was so slow.
But I had the book and figured I might as well give it another go… AND I’M GLAD I DID.
This story is definitely tough to read, as it touches on a plethora of heavy subject matter. My heart is truly aching from it, but it’s definitely worth reading.
