Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Addiction, Child abuse, Suicidal thoughts, and Pedophilia
This is a deeply uncomfortable book, addressing some very serious issues. I felt like the author does not hold back in bringing the reader into the mind of the girl and the woman who is desperately trying to cope the abuse that was done to her. This book is very well written, but the content is extremely difficult. This book needs to be read with care to your own mental health.
