Struggled to get into this book & was never able to. Gave up about 100 pages in.

I am not okay. My heart has been absolutely shattered. Every time I thought we got past the worst of it… I was wrong lol. Definitely check trigger warnings. I did not and that was a mistake. This was a beautifully written story despite all the sadness.

The audiobook narrator was great. Just don’t listen while you’re driving. Lol. I feel like the most traumatic things happened while I was driving and idk how I didn’t get into an accident.
