This was deep and emotionally draining. It was a reread for me this year but i understood the topics even more. Surprisingly, the reread hit just as hard as when I read it the first time, which is a first for me. I loved even though it was hard at times. I absolutely recommend, unless it’s triggering for you. keep in mind as you read.

Moderate: Self harm
