5.0
Despite knowing the story from the start, I was completely gripped throughout and found myself unable to put the book down. It is deeply introspective and insightful, detached yet personal, and exceptionally well written. It manages to talk about abuse without it becoming too emotionally intense, although it does justice to the topic and does not remove its teeth. I would highly recommend reading it
