This honestly hit me in my most sensitive spots. The prose is beautiful and vivid. I'm not used to reading contemporary or even magical realism so I'm happy that I enjoyed this book as much as I did. I liked how it handled the issues of loss, fear, mental illness, generational scars and gentrification. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is that the majority of the conversations were a bit too stilted for me, but I enjoyed everything else.
