I’ve experienced this with other books, and I’d only like to point out, or maybe remind you, that needing time to sit with what you’ve read means it’s actually having an impact. If you were instead coming here saying “it was a real page turner, I flew through it” I would probably think you’re either a creep or so desensitized to the suffering of others that you have lost your empathy. Letting myself have a hard time getting through books like this helps me remind myself I’m human.
This is a very good point, yes. Thank you for your insight.
