this book was so shocking and disturbing. it manages to really cover all major triggers very in depth so um good job love that! i have so much to say abt this book but i would never in good faith recommend this to anyone. definitely the definition of a feel-bad book for sure! it was very horrific but i was so invested i had to read it in one sitting
