pacificsnail's review against another edition

Painful to read. There's way to write about trauma and I am convinced this is not it.
Stayed with me for a long time and not in a pleasant way. Had a hard time washing some of the images out of my head.

I would give 6 stars if I could. This is truly a masterpiece of a novel. I don't give 5 star ratings often (this is my second one this year), but this book was so moving and heart wrenching it deserved nothing less. My soul has been stomped on and my heart has been crushed.

1.0

I read this based off a BookTok recommendation and hated it. I should've read content warnings or something, but I continue to hate reading about rape. Throughout the book it just made me feel sad, angry, and upset, and just kept going. There's a slightly hopeful note at the end with the narrator but I don't think the fantastical stories shared throughout the book make up for all the rest of the depressing storyline. I don't want to ever think of this book again and the only reason I finished is to see if it got any better. Nope.

I will leave this book unrated. Incredibly written, painfully dark, and intensely important. Please check the trigger warnings before reading.
