A deep and intimate look into psychosis, depression, suicide, purity, virginity, and identity.
Beautifully crafted and one of the most evocative and visceral reads I've experienced in a while.
However, it's a 4 star rather than a 5 because of the blatant, unapologetic and pointless racism.
I understand the argument of it being a product of its time, but it made me incredibly uncomfortable and affected my enjoyment and that is, after all, what I'm rating.
