This was such a tough read, not in a bad way. It was filled with so much trauma, violence, and heartache. The things the de characters went through were unspeakable and absolutely disgusting. But as we all know - literacy can be helpful for those with trauma. I was in such an anxiety filled ball with hope swirling around me as I read these words scattered on pages. A gorgeous story of survival and endurance. 
The character development and break down is extremely well done.
