Wowww this book is insanely good. It hurts to read, though. I’m uncomfortable with how much I recognize myself in Esther. It feels invasive, like reading an alternate version of my mind that never tried to heal. Some of the thought patterns, decisions, and experiences are painfully specific. This is going to be one of those books I think about for months after finishing it. I really want a happy ending for her.
