i want to get a place in my writing where i can tell the reader what is to happen and it still be impactful.

it is already a sad story. but then, there are so extra many pieces that just slot into place and make the book all the more heartbreaking. it jus come dung pan mi an a cyaan tek it.

5.0

Without doubt one of the best books I have ever read. This writing is nuanced, mind-bending, beautiful, raw and electric. It’s the sort of book that makes me want to take back all previous five star reviews because a new bar has been set.
