This book is still so touching and so painful, even after all these years. I can't say I love it. But I felt it.

It wasn’t something I would read for fun or relaxation so much as for perspective. I think it shows the effects of how your childhood shapes you as an adult. It was hard to read at some times because of its themes and I did have to put it down for a while and come back to it.
