I absolutely inhaled this book. Beautifully written with such raw emotion. 

I found it very hard to be okay with how Karuna’s mother treated her. It didn’t matter that it came from love, it was psychological and emotional abuse and manipulation. Every time Karuna almost got help my heart squeezed with hope. I’m glad her mother changed but that doesn’t make it okay.
