Yet still she brought a lightness to it no matter how bleak things got, less funnier than Haunting but with enough humor to remind you that the only way to survive this life is with laughter‪.‬

I’m telling you now, the triggers in this book are nasty; if you were triggered in book 1, this one is absolutely going to be worse. You’ve been warned. Especially considering how book 1 ended. But the way the author deals with Addie’s trauma and then her journey feels deeply cathartic, even though that journey is not at all mine. You know how sometimes it feels like an author poured their soul out into a story, that’s exactly what I felt here, like she cut open a vein and let her soul bleed out until it was all on the page. Painful, messy, heartbreaking, and eventually, healing. Yet still she brought a lightness to it no matter how bleak things got, less funnier than Haunting but with enough humor to remind you that the only way to survive this life is with laughter.
