This book was difficult to read because it basically took my heart and tossed it into a wood chipper. There was so much pain and sadness. Even more sad when you remember it’s semi autobiographical. But it’s a really good book. And it’s really well written. I can’t believe this is a debut novel. The alternating POV was well done. The pace of the story was great. It hurt to read but, I would absolutely recommend it. Content warning: abuse, assault, suicide.
