I probably have a bunch of unresolved trauma, and the story focuses on a lot of tragedy so those parts hit harder even re-reading them for the third or fourth time. As for admitting it IRL, I dunno, I'm a 3X year old boomer at this point I'm kind of over caring what people think. I don't expect anyone I know IRL to read the book even if I give them a free copy (already seen my brother write a book and to date I'm the only one of our family to have read the book; he took it really hard so I lowered my expectations a lot).
