I went into this book with no pretense or expectation. I didn’t even know what it was about. But, even though the body horror surprised me, somehow I was never disgusted. I was drawn into the story by the immense patience and gentleness that Louise displayed. I wanted to see Louise to the end and be with her for whatever the end of her journey held. All hope is that the end her story was worth it for her.

On the real though, loved the descriptions of the illness, especially as someone who has very thin, irritable skin and thus found it entirely too relatable. I just think some of the narrative was a little hard to follow, which wasn’t helped by the flowery language. That being said, I think it was a deliberate choice to keep things mysterious, so not a huge issue.
