My 18yo overheard part of the book and asked, "why are you subjecting yourself to this kind of trauma?!?" And I told her I had to know how it ends... it was a compulsion!

100% agreed.

I've absolutely loved your posts on this horrible, beautiful book.

Surprisingly, most of the books I have on hold are 12+ hours. I found a few around 8 hours to read next.

In both languages, I'll add.
