This book doesn't make sense. The plot has a lot of holes. The writing is good, but the sentences that make a punch, are just there to achieve that feeling. Nothing goes any deeper, nothing is really explained. People can make decisions, I don't understand, I'm absolutely fine with that, I'm actually very much interested usually. But at least I should be given a convincing explanation for the why. This book unfortunately doesn't do that.
Graphic: Emotional abuse and Infidelity
Moderate: Racism, Toxic relationship, and Violence
Minor: Addiction, Body shaming, Self harm, Suicide, and Abortion
