Pacing of the story is uneven, and the flashback split storytelling at the beginning seemed odd.  Certain things also aren’t explained, that while perhaps not directly relevant to the story, left me wanting an explanation (trying to avoid spoilers here).  Interesting story concept though and

I love Bonedog

.  I think because the story is so character-driven that it got more enjoyable once there were more characters and their personalities.

Would be great for a Greta Gerwig adaptation featuring Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh. Big on yearn-core.

I loved this. It was quick moving and the characters were all so charming. Marra was a little dull for me but the rest of the cast made up for it (I especially loved Agnes). I loved the short length, and was surprised at how much the author packed in. The light humour was endearing but I’ll admit I was expecting slightly more horror. This is my second Kingfisher book and I’m definitely a fan of her writing style. It’s vivid and poetic without being meandering. I will advise checking out the content warnings for this one!
