Incredibly depressing but I didn’t expect any differently. This book had one of the most touching depictions of PTSD I’ve ever read. Parts of it moved really slow and I found myself getting lost in the prose. It was a bit long winded and I know that’s a me-problem. It was a LOT more Sapphic than I anticipated (and what a treat that was)! It was very casually racist though and that deducted some points from me.
I think I will appreciate reading this more when I’m in my fifties, I think I’m just not in the right demographic for this one
