 This was such an intimate read. I love books like these - depicting life exactly how it is with no frills, tugging on my emotions as if I'm there in the moment with the characters.

It hit too close to home a few times, but I try to always find appreciation in reading about a character going through the same things I have.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this, even when I had to put it down for a time and find the strength to return.
