This novel certainly jerks the emotions around. It is a compilation of some very deep material that delivers a rougher edge to the human condition than I am typically accustomed to. A must read!
Easily one of the most powerful books, if not the most powerful, I’ve ever read. The passion and raw emotion left me stunned. I am literally reeling. It is both so beautiful and so hard to process. It inspired me. Thank you so much for writing this.
I feel like I was back in “lockdown” reading this journal. Amazing that people around the world experienced similar and yet very different experiences during this unique time. Definitely a glimpse into this life and I really enjoyed the read. Will recommend.
