challenging dark emotional sad tense

4.5

Even though this is a tiny book, it was so emotionally exhausting it took  me two months to read. Honestly, parts of this book I sort of hated, and parts of this book I felt sick reading.

But it also felt so real. It’s not a pleasant book, exactly, but it’s not meant to be. I feel like I have so many more emotions that I can’t quite express yet, so I might edit later.. it’s hard to explain because even though it was such a challenging read in so many ways, I feel very positive about it
