This book is the story of traumatic events. 

Every bad thing that could happen to someone managed to be incorporated into this book - in some instances it was sadly comical because you had to just say “oh, of course, why not”.

I loved how these stories intersected! I figured out early on what happened with the baby yet it did not pull away from the book.
