challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

4.0

Bodies of Light was such an uncomfortable, heart-wrenching, emotionally compelling read, that left me feeling like I've witnessed Maggie's story unfold in front of me like an old friend.
  
When Holly receives an unexpected Facebook message she is taken back to her past with dark, deep trauma. As we read more of her story, we are sickened with what was allowed to happen to Maggie as a child, torn with sadness and grief as she finally finds happiness, and witness her downfall and rebirth as she finds herself.
