It took me what felt like a long time to finish this one. I don't recall ever adding it to my TBR, but I found it there when I went to add it - I read it for a book club.
It took me a long time because it's a lot to stomach. I had to keep reminding myself that this is truth, this is nonfiction, and that is a painful reality. To know that Dr. Westover is not alone in her experiences.
But my God, what a story. That a human could experience so much, and come out the other side as this. What a story.
