Exquisite, exquisite prose. Beautiful ruminations on mental illness, environmental justice, racism, and healing.

Plot? Not so much. But still definitely worth a read. Think of it more as poetry rather than a novel, and you will enjoy it a lot more.

I could not follow it and I could not keep attention while reading. There will be a place and time for me to finish this book inevitably though!

such an interesting and personally relevant read, another case of reading a book exactly when I needed to read it. it’s also set in a fictional town in georgia which made everything feel close to home.
