I keep writing and re-writing my review. This book has blown me away. It is so beautifully horrific. Its for sure one of my top 5 favorite books but I won't recommend it to everyone because not everyone can “handle” it. Or maybe I would recommend it with a trigger warning. It's very difficult to read about horrific trauma, even when its fiction. However, Jude's trauma responses, coping mechanisms and thoughts/feelings were very relatable. I think the author did a great job of researching cPTSD for this book. I can't stop thinking about the book and the tragedy of it all.
