Absolutely devoured this book

Beautifully written, my new favorite novel.

Devastating

Betty is so beautifully written. It’s filled with extreme sadness and is hard to read at times but it’s also filled with love and sweetness.

Depressing

I'm really not into this book. I'm having to push myself to read it and feel like quitting. I think I am going to quit. It's a story of extreme child abuse, neglect, mental illness and trauma and in a very extreme way. I don't mind sad stories or reading of what people have suffered but this one is just one train wreck after another and I am 2/3rds in. I'm glad I bought it 2nd hand and didn't waste more money. I don't want to give any spoilers so that's all I will say except I wouldn't recommend it to others.
