This is a really really hard topic to read about but the craftsmanship of writing is phenomenal.
Please check the trigger warnings before reading this because it gets heavy and dark and if you're not ready for that it could overwhelm you.
It's such a delicate, intricate matter where writing about it is a fine line between explaining and informing while not traumatizing in the process. The author did a perfect job in my opinion.
This is a book that I would Always recommend reading if you have the capacity for it but would strongly recommend NOT Reading if you don't or are not sure if you can.
