Okay, I want to start by saying that I went into this book blind. I normally read reviews before I start a book but I didn’t with this one. Immediately I was captivated. Then I thought about quitting. I pushed through and I’m glad I did. Is this story messed up? Absolutely. I’m still not sure what my take away is because I’m morally and empathetically conflicted. All I know is that this was beautifully written, gripping, and tragic. Definitely taboo and triggering.
