ce_read's review against another edition
I wasn't connecting with the characters like I wanted to. Maybe if I was reading instead of listening to the book it would have hit different, but 1/3 of the way in and there has been almost no plot. So more of a slow, episodic, picture painting kind of story than a plot driven one

This book has deeply hurt me and I loved it.
It is such a deeply emotional read. So raw and real.
I will think about this book for a long time.
Friends, expect this as a gift in the coming months (if you want a copy)
I have so much love for this book.
