Felt like a love letter to poetry too which I enjoyed. What an interesting idea to have a character who only communicates in poems.
What didn't sit well with me was that no one really holds Birdie accountable for her abusive behaviors/actions. I understand why the author wrote it this way but I don't think it should be normalized. But maybe that's a me problem because this is very personal and triggering.

NOPE. I'm not buying AT ALL that a rape victim would fall in love with the perp's brother. Or that all her PTSD would go away in one summer. Or that her family would be so cavalier about her safety and mental health. Or that this supposed "genius" child wouldn't catch on to anything. This is supposed to be a romantic story and the ICK is all over it. Finished, but barely.
