|| Thank you to NetGalley and University of Toronto Press for providing me this arc in exchange for an honest review ! ||
The eARC I received only had the story called "But I Live", and I wish I was able to read the whole book with the different stories and the informations we could get after (according to the content table).
It was touching to see how Ima is still traumatized, haunted by what happened to her and her family, even in daily moments like having to be in a specific spot when inside a coffee shop or not being able to eat something she got forced to when younger. Her story is touching in a way that she sees herself as strong (and she is!) and not weak, how she doesn't like the word 'survivor'.
I liked the illustration and how everything were made, we could see the different timeline with no issue. It fitted really well with how the story was told, really grim and cold.
