This was really dark like dark Af. PLEASE check trigger warnings.  I didn't expect it to get so dark and explicit. Cora got on my DAMN nerves, I get it she was traumatized. The author did a great job raising awareness to the trauma and tribulations she went through and how NO ONE understood  her at all. It was so realistic, this is what victims/survivors go through, it is not an easy thing to get over.  
It was a hard read because of the graphic content because of the explicit scenes because stuff like this actually happens in real life and we don’t know how to move on or how to deal with it.
