 The prose is really great. It evokes a lot of emotion and feeling, and made for a very sincere and compelling one sitting read. It's an awesome little novella. Characters finding their way through the bleak world was oddly satisfying. It is really all about the writing. I do think the story arcs and characters were well done, but if you aren't into the novella format this probably wouldn't change your mind. If you are looking for a novella to try, this is a good one to give a chance to. It's fast paced and easy to read, and not weird and out there like some novellas can be. Worth the time and fits a lot of good stuff into the short length.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Confinement

Moderate: Emotional abuse and Grief

Minor: Sexual violence, Medical trauma, Gaslighting, and Injury/Injury detail

The characters are sex workers but there is no explicit sex. The sexual violence is also seen after the fact and not described in an explicit way for shock value.

booksthatburn's review against another edition

It’s hazy and dream-like in a way that made it hard to hang on to what’s happening. The premise is interesting, but I expected a mystery, not an existentialist meditation.
