Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.

from page 2 I was in tears and I did not stop crying for the first 20 pages. This book was written beautifully and with so much love I could not continue reading it because I was balling. The imagery was too close to home for me and I had to put the book now. Maybe after my own grief therapy I’ll pick it back up.
