it was amazing

✳ I recieved an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review ✳

Absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. Possibly one of the best explorations of trauma and mental illness, and how it affects a family over time. Seeing the author's insight into how deplorable the mental health sector is in America was genuinely infuriating.

I'm really having a hard time capturing my thoughts on this book because of how stunning it is.

Such an important read for anyone and everyone.

Just read it, you will not regret it.
