Oh dear. Brilliant but so brutally honest about the fallibility of human nature and the damage caused to others as we try to realise our dreams.

Such a sad, beautiful, poetic novel about grief and how a family can fall apart after a sudden death. The writing is gorgeous, so evocative.

Read like an angsty undergraduate's final project. Dense and intense with no payoff.
