lesbrarycard's review

dark reflective tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

this book did one of my favorite things in a short story collection—it followed a cast of loosely connected characters and told pieces from each of their points of views. it was haunting, dark, and vulnerable, and assured taylor as one of my new favorite authors.
