this was heartbreaking, jaw dropping, melancholic, and heartwarming all at once. the characters and dialogue (especially their arguments) felt so real and they’re all so complex and flawed in their own ways. also i really enjoyed this writing style so i’m gonna have to check out Cleopatra and Frankenstein!

I appreciated the thread of addiction & sobriety woven throughout. Sibling stories tend to be my favorite but there were times where I was looking for a little more.

A very piercing story about addiction, grief, sisterhood, and being a woman in this messed up, patriarchal world. I was really impressed with how the author was able to balance & find the interplay in all these heavy concepts, and still somehow create a hopeful story. The characters were very multi-dimensional, and there were some really funny moments too. Would definitely recommend!
