A startling debut — a mystery that’s less of a detective story than a meditation on the ripples of trauma and grief.

i don't know how i feel.... i think i went in with really high expectations and that's why i was so disappointed :( the characters were confusing & it felt really fast-paced for the type of feelings the author wanted to convey. the characters also felt a bit flat to me & i found myself not really caring for them. idk if it was lost in translation or just the set up of the chapters that just made it all around confusing... the ending was so... i don't know. i don't think i would read again :( just wasn't for me:( i can understand why that ending was chosen, especially because this novel is more about processing grief & trauma, but i unfortunately, think it felt short of doing so & i'm not sure if that's bc of how short it is or what...
