The kind where you’re sheltered and loved to the point that you aren’t aware of how cruel the world can be until it’s too late to acquire the necessary coping skills, or the kind of household I grew up in. I wonder what kind of upbringing is worse for a human. CoHo brought up topics about how truly corrupted the system is and how one can easily fall into it if you don’t have a support system. It’s about letting go of the cruel past and accepting oneself. This book is about two young people, right on the cusp of adulthood, dealing with traumatic pasts. My heart grew bones and then it broke into millions of tiny pieces after reading this. If you do read it then please provide constructive criticism for other readers. So please refrain from trashing her book. Disclaimer: If you’re not a CoHo fan you might not magically love this.
