• short story collection with seven stories (about 160 pages total)
• longest one was in the middle, about 50 pages, called “Breath from the Depths”
• I am still processing what I read as some of these characters’ motivations confused me & left me feeling dark &heavy but was still so compelling!

cw: death, suicidal ideation, pedophilic behavior, ageism, stressful & uncertain situations that stressed me tf out
