This was an incredibly intense book, which I have a lot of thoughts for. Before I do my usual review let me say that this book is full of a lot of potential triggers. So if you are concerned about that, at the bottom of the review I will put 's and a trigger warning label. They are spoilery, but that way you can be warned.NonSpoiler review:As I said above, this is an incredibly intense book. I actually had trouble even going through some of the parts. In a few places the level of emotional moments was so much I actually stopped being able to really experience it (yes, this book gave me emotion fatigue). That being said, it is a very psychologically accurate look at some intense subjects. It is an incredible story of survival and romance. The characters are well done and real. It had an amazing ending. Is it worth the read? Maybe. If you have a strong stomach. My only other real problem with it is that it felt really long. I'm not even entirely sure why, but it's never a good thing when a book feels like. Not that it is long, it just feels endless.Overall, very interesting psychologically, and pretty traumatizing for the reader. ****TRIGGER WARNINGS*****
Triggers: Molestation, abuse, suicide, abductions.
All of it is pretty detailed and intense. Be warned.
