Gripping story

Such a gripping story. I will be thinking about all of these characters for a while.

Heartbreaking, real, raw

You fall in love with each character and you feel their pain as well as their happiness. So heartbreaking but at the same time, so beautiful.

it is beautifully read

Parts of this book are beautifully written and the writer is very talented. I found some of torture sequences over powering. it brought me tears on multiple occasions. it is not easy to get through. Matt's reading was passionate and excellent.

A Beautiful Tragedy

This story is profoundly brilliant, irresistibly beautiful, and filled with unfettered tragedy. A story of the authentic impacts of life-long PTSD, a life fought for and remade again and again. It begs for your curiosity and unadulterated willingness to hear and create space for stories like this, fiction and real.

Devastatingly Beautiful

Despite spending hours audibly sobbing and lying awake at night unable to stop thinking about this book, it is a true masterpiece, and the performance my Matt Bomer is heartbreaking and perfect. I both never want to read it again, and want to start over and read it again immediately because the characters and the story are now a part of me in a way that I don’t know how I’ll move on from. There are not sufficient words to describe this experience. My life will now be divided into BALL and AALL.
