The writing is really beautiful, it's written in a way that romanticises the male gaze, so the words are all very lyrical and written in a way someone would write a longing and desperate love letter. However this juxtapositions itself with the seriousness of the incidents and situation that occur on this book, which makes it a very interesting read.

I read a review that said “this book focused on the death of the boys adolescence rather than the, literal, death of the sisters” and I completely agree.
