I feel harsh scoring this so low as this book covers vital issues and themes. It has some really raw and vulnerable moments. Unfortunately, it was hard to delve deep into these topics as I genuinely was confused about the plot and ongoing narrative. I often read a passage then reread it, still unable to grasp what was happening. It took me far too long to even pick up the main character’s name. I’ve read other reviews that feel similarly, which reassured me that I was not the only one to struggle with this! However, it was because of the topics raised that I continued trying and I am glad I read (and finally finished!) this one.
