This book broke me so much that it took me almost 4 months to read - I emotionally (and sometimes physically) could not continue reaading further because of sheer sadness. Perpetual feeling of having a lump in my throat from trying not to cry for the duration of this read. I truly hope for the healing for the author (and all those who have gone through the same). The world truly is a horrifying place sometimes goodness me.
