Devotion is a novel of such depth and intensity of emotion. I devoured it in two sittings and if you’re anything like me, it will live long in your head after you have finished it. An easy 5 stars and definitely recommended.
Moderate: Animal death, Death, and Miscarriage

So while this story was incredible in its own way, I don’t think it was for me, hence the 3 stars. But I am still glad I read it!
Also TW: animal slaughter, death, suicidal thoughts and attempts. (I personally found the pig scenes to be quite intense 😢)
