this was so much more graphic and traumatic a story than i was expecting, and although it was so hard to read, i admire what the book brought to light and the writing was truly lovely, the characters more than admirable.

This book is beautifully written, but it is very dark, to the point that I didn't want to keep reading at parts because I couldn't handle it (maybe I'm too weak).
What sealed the rating for me was that ending. Way to abrupt.
