The writing was beautiful but I struggled to connect with the characters. This could, however, be because of the situation I found myself reading the book in. I might decide to pick it up again in the future to see if being less socially exhausted improves the experience as this isn't an easy book to read (difficult contents and the style, while delightful, might take a little getting used to)
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Sexual content, Racial slurs, Sexual assault, and Child death
Minor: Cursing
