Very unreletable to me. I liked the prose, but the contents were a bit cringey because I don't like dysfunctional, helpless, characters that are chaotic in a constantly sad and depressive way. It's described as a coming-of-age story, but it was super static; more navel-gazey than actually introspective.

MAJOR TW FOR THE "POPPONESSET" CHAPTER: graphic depiction of rape.
