"No one should face their monsters alone, Virgil."

Shaun David Hutchinson has always been an auto-read author for me. And despite his last couple of books being 3 star reads, he still remains an author I admire, that I know will write books full of emotion.
.
Ultimately, this is story of abuse and trauma and finding hope where there first seemed to be none.
And that was beautifully told.
But the problem for me was how sad and angry and depressed it made me feel all along. The hope and slight nice elements only really came at the very end, after hours of suffering. And of course this is a story that needs to be told, we need stories of hurt and trauma and how abuse can make people feel so lonely and sad and anxious.
But it just wasn't really what I was looking for especially this pride month, and the blurb clearly doesn't say much about what this book is actually about.
