Underrated precursor to Shape of Water by Del Torro

This was a lot more philosophical than I expected. It comes across as a book you would read while getting an English degree. The themes about memory, loss, desire, marriage, and everyday life were done well in such a short time. I could have done without the ickiness thrown in at the end… maybe in the re-release they should have changed some of the girls’ ages. Blah
