4.5
An incredibly well written tale about life, love, and self-hatred. The main character is a pretty terrible person and a wildly unreliable narrator, both of which make Arsim a fascinating individual to follow in the story!
Moderate: Child abuse, Rape, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence
The main character has a sexual encounter with a person he believes to be 17 or older. 17 is obviously not of legal age. It is quickly revealed that the kid is actually 14. Main character does face a lot of consequences (prison) for the interaction. It is NOT graphically described.loganmedrano's review against another edition

So sad, hard to put into words. Tragic insight to others' experiences in our same, but so different, world.

with lyrical, haunting, and unflinching prose, this book develops into an unfathomably bleak story, but i couldn’t look away.
