A very fascinating character study and a perplexing moral situation. The notes from the author at the back of the book were very helpful and also added to the questions I have about the relationship between Wavy and Kellen.

Some of the topics covered were very heavy and I regretted not looking at the content warnings before starting the book. I did enjoy the book overall though.

This book really challenged me throughout. It is beautifully written and I really cared for several of the characters.  However, it has some really difficult themes and so It's hard to say "i enjoyed reading it" as it was an uncomfortable read.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book due to the content.
