I was sent this arc by the publishing company for my honest review. In the beginning the story was slow. Full of dark imagery ptsd situations and sadness. The four pov and splitting the book into parts was not hard to follow. But with all the characters story etc in the end felt like the last few chapters had some filler. Overall a sad interesting story that still had moments that needed explaining or confused me in relation to the characters trauma. Also who is Chuck? I know he is one of the doctors but which one i feel like so much happened and with the main like 5 characters with all the minor characters. A good first attempt with room for improvement. As a nurse I see how the author put their career experience in the medical content.
