The fastest 5 star review I’ve given all year. This book is devastating and beautiful, and I feel like I’m actually a different person after reading it. But please for the love of god read the trigger warnings.

Just fucking masterful

This is exactly how you write stories of trauma - with reflection and compassion, and balanced with a gorgeous prose defined by its fine-tuned attention to detail

Check the trigger warnings because there’s some graphic stuff in this book but if you can stomach it it’s absolutely worth the read
