So beautifully written, but oh so sad. It was both traumatic and healing, devastating but hopeful. It gives so many perspectives, so many insights. As traumatized as I am from the book, I also feel I have grown and healed from it, too.
PLEASE check trigger warnings before reading. It is a HEAVY and DIFFICULT read.
