How is it going? I like to read books that will help me create less suffering in this world. That can be biographies to find inspiration, fiction to get away from reality for a bit, educational so I can teach others about hard topics. If I follow or engage with you it's because I like what you read or review.

I read this book while I was on a family trip to Mexico. Thankfully there were times where I could relax for a little bit to read. This book really had me glued to it. Although there was a lot of build up and filler, it was necessary to understand the emotions this story invoked. There was a lot of hard to read parts.. made me cry a lot at certain times. I would recommend this book to anyone who has gone through so much shit and just wants a good cry. Sometimes crying feels good.
