This is one of my favorite books I've read so far in 2024. It's filled with purple prose, so if that's not your style, you won't enjoy it anywhere near as much as I did.
Something I really appreciated was the format of the book, where it was a letter from Little Dog to his mother. I felt that this was a great way to explore their specific relationship, while also giving the author more freedom with the flowery language.
I *loved* this specific quote from this book: "To be or not to be That is the question. A question, yes, but not a choice."
