Read 5 chapters. Note to self: Stop trying to read books that include heavy misogyny, pregnancy, mental institutions, and, most of all,

Spoiler

sexual assault.

I have no words to describe how incredibly well executed this book is. It was honestly hard to read with how much it made me feel so strongly towards these characters. Amazing read, 100% recommend.
