absolutely soul crushing and bleak. i spiraled once i finally finished the book. you’re left with a hopeless, pessimistic mood once you set the book down. the characters own views bleed into you, if only for a moment. very well done though, i absolutely recommend, it’s one of those books you read once and never again. it will haunt me for the rest of my life. the vocabulary is simple and easy to understand, yet emotions are written so poetically. there is an underlying depth in each sentence. you don’t need big words to be able to do that. you just need meaning. naturally when consuming darker media, you always try to grasp on things that can provide comfort. this book gives you none of that. there is nothing to hold onto, not even the characters. they are overall unlikeable, and in end end you feel like a hollow husk. the characters most likely feel the same too. make sure to take care of yourself while you read, treat yourself gently.
