I’m still traumatized but as I’m still obsessed it has to be a very high star ratings. it needs all the trigger warning you can think about but I’m still thinking about it. I don’t know if I want to leave this book behind me to never see it again or if I want to read it again one day.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. The trigger warnings are forever and day long. If you are to read this please take care of your mental and emotional well-being. 
What  a deeply traumatizing and distributed read. Some thought regarding this book: 

•  I don’t understand or care to understand why the characters can’t just be happy. Why does bad things have to keep happening??? 
• What is the purpose and/or reason for this tale? It completely destroys the ‘it gets better’ speech/narrative. Why have hope in humanity? 

I can genuinely say I hated reading this book. It was painful, horrific, depressing, and at times very very disgusting.
