Whew there is a lot going on with this one. It definitely needs a trigger warning for DV, I wouldn’t have read it if I knew. Not because the novel itself isn’t beautiful, but it’s hard to stomach. The subject matter is enlightening, raw, and honest, but towards the end it starts to feel repetitive and overdone. I was hooked for the first 60% but started to lose interest towards the end.
