challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad

4.25

i was hesitant to read it because i couldn’t really tell what it was going to be about (plus reading it for college) but i really enjoyed it. it put me through the mill a bit, i found certain sections very emotional and reflective. i do just love and adore pat barker’s writing style, which i think made it even better!
