tough to read & amazing

5 stars

I’m giving this a rare 5-star review because there’s no real criticism I have for it - it’s stunningly written, immersive and horrifying but ultimately hopeful. It is undoubtedly triggering for anyone with familial mental illness, and it can be too much at times. That said, it’s an incredible, fascinating book and I’m glad I picked it up.
