This is definitely one of those books where I'm going to have to re-read it. I definitely enjoyed it, but I don't think I fully grasped it. I'll probably try to re-read it in a digital or physical format though. Maybe I'll follow it better then. For now, I'll say it's definitely a 3 star as the story is compelling and emotional, and the narrator did a wonderful job.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Suicide, Toxic relationship, Violence, Grief, Murder, Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Suicide attempt
I'm sure there might be others I missed. . . I'll try to update them when I remember, but this book starts off with a warning about a completed suicide so please, please, please keep that in mind.
