I very rarely write reviews but this was one of the best books I have ever read.
I highly recommend it to anyone who found solace in books to escape childhood trauma.
The author does a beautiful job of highlighting the role that books can play in a person's life especially during their darkest points. I've said it before and I'll say it again, books saved my life. This book shows the life changing effects that a book can have on many people's lives and I just think that is so amazing.
I cannot count the number of times I cried while reading this book. It was so beautifully written and I cannot wait to read another book by this author.
