This book wouldn’t have been one that I would have naturally gravitated towards, had I realized I the overall theme of the book (TW: fire injury; medical trauma ). This book came as a recommendation, so I didn’t thoroughly read the description, which was my fault.
With that being said, I do not regret reading this book. I liked how the plot unfolded. It’s a sad book but is also inspiring, especially in the epilogue.
I believe that this is a fast paced book, but due to the length, it feels kind of medium paced. I listened to the audiobook in a few days.
There are some serious content warnings that readers need to be aware of. I’ll put them in as spoilers.
almost the entire plot of the book is about a medical trauma and a fire/injury. There are also some mentions of suicidal thoughts and body dissatisfaction, understandably so given what happened. There are points of gaslighting.
