  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
i don’t know how to rate this book. it was so good in the sense that it made me feel things, it left a mark on me. but i doubt i’d reread and i don’t think i would recommend it. the story is so raw, vulnerable, and difficult and i feel like it was written in a way only a child psychologist could pull off (hence DOCTOR lucinda berry!!). 
it altered my brain chemistry and made me uncomfortable and uneasy but because of that, it was an impactful and real life story. it made me question how would i handle this situation if it happened to me. it’s unlike any book i’ve ever read and part of me misses the person i was before reading it lol. 

in short, if you read books to make you happy and feel good, do not read this. 
if you read books to FEEL emotions and delve into the human experience, then proceed with caution.
