This was a hard read, I should have put it down, multiple times, but I hate to DNF books, so I continued, but I have never read anything like this, so horrifying, very sad and traumatic. It still haunts me. How come there were no trigger warnings in the beginning? I honestly had no idea what this book was about. It was nicely written, but so disturbing, I wish I haven't read it. Too much for me to handle.

Here are the trigger warnings

Very graphic and in-detail description of these topics. Haunting.
