I don’t think this is a book for everyone due to its subject matter and some of the things happened in the book, but if you do, brace yourself and I will see you on the other side.Joan has spent a lifetime enduring the cruel acts of men. To say it was an emotional roller coaster was an understatement… It was a book where you would go through a lot of emotions from not understating the protagonist (why do you keep doing it?!), to hating the protagonist (honestly WHY?!) from being completely riveted by her (I can’t even…) to feel so sorry for her (I get it now…).

It was utterly crazy but so heartbreaking at the same time.

It was completely shocking and riveting… there was this one scene which I couldn’t get it out of my head and it would continue to haunt me. It’s a story about deprivation, about sexual assault, about surviving trauma and about finding the way out. I don’t want to say too much about the plot as you have to work out who the narrator, our protagonist Joan, was telling her story to. I would say if you have read A Little Life, then it is the female version of that… if you haven’t read A Little Life yet, than I would say be warned as it has every trigger warnings in the world that you could ever imagine😩. This book😩😩😩 can you hate and love a book at the same time? Hate it because the way it broke my heart into million pieces! Love it because my gosh I couldn’t put it down at all. He did it in a restaurant where I was having dinner with another man, another married man.ĭo you see how this is going? But I wasn’t always that way. He was a gluttonous man and when his blood came out it looked like the blood of a pig. I drove myself out of New York City where a man shot himself in front of me.
