There were some bits in here that I really loved. One chapter blew me away. And a dozen sentences felt like love notes just for me.
But overall, either some litfic is just a bit too much up its own ass for my tastes or... This wasn't that good. Maybe both.

- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I wish I’d had time to read this book in one sitting and relish it. It’s so removed yet so immersed in its own culture and environment to the point of completely capturing small town life and isolation, and the story takes so many twists and turns
