is it worth reading?

depends, i personally felt sick reading the rape scenes (fyi not the main couple) since they were kind of graphic and very uncomfortable, but the story itself was emotionally captivating and made me cry so many times - if you want, you can skip through the torturous sa scenes and just read the dialogue, highly recommend if you are strong enough to power through it

Wait for the side stories to complete before you start reading, if you can wait.
