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
