Just WOW. I haven’t read a book with such a strong message in ages. Really makes you think about how our environment and the way we are brought up shapes us as humans. The way our parents’ toxic patterns affect us… It’s just gorgeous. I have to say, it might be one of my favourite books of all time now. A bit slow paced at the beginning but once you’re past the first couple of chapters, it sucks you in.
