The reviewer started reading No One Belongs Here More Than You with expectations of insightful quotes and engaging stories. Initially, they found some lines thought-provoking, such as 'They seem easy to write, but that’s the illusion of all good advice.' However, the collection quickly took a turn for the worse with stories about incest and pedophilia, presented in a tone that normalized these horrific acts. The reviewer felt physically sick and had to stop reading, unable to continue due to the disturbing content. They strongly advise against reading this book, as it is not worth the time or money.
