It’s a translated work. French to English.
Surprisingly, I enjoyed the art work. The landscapes were simple yet charming.
As heartbreaking as this book is, I wish the main character was a bit more likeable. Then again the main character’s entire environment perpetuates their despair & anger.
The aunt being the only half-decent human. I wish the best friend, Bruno, was a better friend. That school experience was a hellscape. I didn’t trust Jeremy. The ending? So they just swam out to never surface again? Abrupt & shocking. Heartbreaking ending regardless.
Heads up for the ending. See CW.
