The initial chapters are challenging to read due to their heavy content, but the author skillfully avoids explicit or sensationalised descriptions. As the story progresses, it adopts a hopeful tone, offering insightful perspectives on life, success, and the ways we often undervalue ourselves. While it is a wonderful and thought-provoking story, I would still only recommend it to those in a good mental headspace.
