Like most things, I am struggling to put my review into words. But mostly because this book was very relatable to me on many levels. And not just from the author’s POV. MANY quotes and situations in this book struck a cord with me, for better or for worse. And because of that, I don’t really know what to say about the actual content of the book. It’s good but also, it hurts. It’s so real and relatable that I found myself dissociating or becoming distracted while reading. So at the end of the day, the content is great because it’s real, so reader beware.
