[A book club/buddy read selection.]
Beautiful and interesting descriptions of light throughout the story.
The story is told from the perspective of the main character and depicts the messiness of life when individuals connect and their complex feelings and choices merge. More than once I became lost in the story and was even caught off guard by the abrupt ending. I'll be checking out more works from this author.
Trigger warnings: alcoholism, rape
