4.0

 Concise, in both its length and shape. The book felt constrictive, brilliantly so, and Silvie’s tendencies towards unreliability—or, at least, trapped in a world that we as readers are all-too aware of—created an excellent narrative voice alongside the backdrop of an intensive, 5-day camping trip. Shocking and haunting in a way that I didn’t expect (intimate, sad), while gorgeously rendered in direct prose.
