Objectively one of the best books I’ve read because it absolutely made me feel something. I’m only knocking off part of a star cause I reserve 5 stars for books with re-readability and I don’t know I can stomach this one again.
It was beautiful, sinister, heart breaking, reflective and I never want to hear about Mr. Strain again.
To me those are the markings of an incredible read and one I highly recommend if you can get past the hard parts.
It’s worth it. It WILL have you talking, it WILL have you thinking and it WILL have you feeling.
Such an incredible job by this author.
