I forgot to review this when I read it as I didn't have a signal when I finished and forgot...it's been a few months and I cannot remember what I planned to say now, other than I enjoyed most of it and planned to give it 4 stars. I would love a more comprehensive review to look back on for my own sake if I planned to reread it at a later date and to help prospective readers decide if they would like to read this, but unfortunately I am not able to provide one.

Prepare to feel called out. If you do, you probably need it as much as I do.
