This book is hard to describe. It is told in multiple perspectives and is surreal and supernatural and an incredibly slow burn. I don’t know if I fully understand how everything came together or didn’t in the end but I did still think this was an interesting read. I feel like we needed a bit more for this to feel fully resolved and definitely would warn everyone to check trigger warnings as this is not an easy read. This is a tough book to wrap my head around for sure.

This was sitting at a 3 star for most of the reading experience, but the last 4th of the book dropped it down to a 2. The book was pretty meh for me, and then suddenly a graphic r*** scene appeared, and it and it's aftermath left me a little traumatized. Definitely not something I wanted to experience via audiobook

Normally I thoroughly enjoy this author's work, but this one is just too hard to get through.

With how this book started, I thought it would end up as one of my favorites. Yet, it didn't. I would have loved it if it hadn't split in so many directions and the threads coming together wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped.
