Devastating. As in I felt like I was destroyed several times while reading this.
Buckle in for trauma.
Fantastic and beautiful and painful and horrible all at once.
I will never rec this book to anyone bc wow it's not for the faint of heart. But it was for me and I look forward to rereading in the future.
