Great insights to what she had to go through.

Only halfway in the book but oh my, this is excruciatingly painful to read at times but can't stop reading it. Not sure if I can get my thoughts in order on this one. On the one hand, the book's topic is important. What Vanessa goes through what she believes to be her truth and not willing to reconcile to what everyone else is seeing is hard to read about. Yet, I know that it is something that happens to people with these traumatic experiences.
At the end of the book now, the part that got me the most is, “I just really need it to be a love story... because if it isn't a love story, what is it? It's my life, my whole life.” I feel like it's the moment she realized what truly happened and from then on she can move forward, I don't want to trivialize it, but I guess fixing that part of her life and be better. It certainly gives us a glimpse of what someone can go through and still decide not to press charges.

Took a while because I only read a chapter a month. Very interesting and definitely shows some things that I can work on to have better habits on it.

Haven't read this in a while but have been wanting to read it again. Then I found this manga and figured it would be easier to read, which it was.

It's been a while since I read the book, so did not remember what was in the books besides what I saw in the movies but those I haven't seen in a while either. Anyways, this was a great book. It did get a little boring at times when Tolkien gave a lot of description.
