This book is so beautifully written, even when it touches sensitive and heavy subjects. It made me feel more secure in my womanhood, but also made me question how I see myself and women in the world. It challenges cultural perceptions and self-image in an emotional and profound way.

This book broke me so much that it took me almost 4 months to read - I emotionally (and sometimes physically) could not continue reaading further because of sheer sadness. Perpetual feeling of having a lump in my throat from trying not to cry for the duration of this read. I truly hope for the healing for the author (and all those who have gone through the same). The world truly is a horrifying place sometimes goodness me.
