Good book, SO hard to read. Trigger warning upon trigger warning.  It’s so necessary to read books that deal with hard topics like this, but not easy nonetheless.

i actually liked this book because of how deep it was and the amount of significance it held. if you’re going to read this or are forced to read this for school please prepare yourself because a lot of the time a lot of traumatic and triggering things happen. but i did enjoy this book more than i enjoyed my other required readings for school.
