Make sure you have tissues on you at all times! It is a challenging read, not to be taken lightly, and might require some therapy...If you are someone who has been through (or is still going through) traumatic experiences, this book is a must. If you know someone who has been through (or is still going through) traumatic experiences, this book is a must. It is cathartic but not in a way you might expect, so be prepared and allow this book to take up a lot of emotional space within you.
