While parts of this book were predictable, there were a few parts that got me. But what I loved most about it was the style it was written in—like a long form letter, with an unreliable narrator who grows as the story happens. This book is HEAVY and you should check the trigger warnings (mostly Domestic and Child Abuse, but some others).
If I had to sum it up, it’s a story about survival and what lengths humans are willing to go to do so.
