This book is disturbing and beautiful and very challenging. It puts things on paper that we never want to talk about. I will say I felt wrong for reading it at times... be careful with yourself

This book was graphic, tragic, & deeply triggering. I’m not sure it paid off enough in the end to make the first 75% worth enduring.
