Wow. This was an emotional, dark, and introspective read. I definitely recommend this if you like lyrical prose. It was beautifully written and it made me tear up several times. I feel like I need to reread this at some point to grasp everything that happened. There’s a lot to analyze and reflect on in this book. I can’t stop thinking about it.
