Be aware that this book has pretty much all the trigger warnings. It is a really hard read but also beautiful and haunting and will linger in my head for a long time to come.

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this book. It was very different from what I expected going into it. It was a very unique read, I've definitely not read anything like this before

After thinking about this book for hours, I’m still a bit torn about the ending. I absolutely loved the book, and not even this feeling could get rid of a star, but I’m still not sure if I was satisfied or not. I am but I’m not. Regardless, this was a book I was so great i to read, and I may read it again in the future
