The Absolute Book by Elizabeth Knox

4.0

I am always going to love a book that has the emotional intensity of Elena Ferrante mixed in with hard fantasy. It gives the novel as a whole a slightly unhinged vibe, that frankly I am here for. It's a brilliant metaphor of when you lose yourself in grief, but that even itself gets a little trapped in the fantasy trappings of the piece, but for me it worked - because it reflected Taryn as a whole. The writing was dense and juicy, so it just immersed me quickly.
