This was truly excellent, A fantastic telling of how those who we love could actually be the worst people for us, As a therapist myself, I loved the emphasis on how important it is to take care of yourself when you are in that role. This is not an easy read (lots of trigger warnings-miscarriage, body shaming, emotional abuse) but it’s an excellent and important one.

I enjoy reading authors debut novels. I like being able to see where their journey of writing goes. At times, this story was a bit of an emotional heavy bag that I wanted to put down. The main character is going through a lot of verbal and emotional abuse from her family and throughout the story revisits events from her childhood. I liked how the story felt real and raw and how relatable it was. I like stories that don't necessarily paint a pretty picture, but show life as its messy, scary at times, reality
I look forward to read more from the author
