I think this will throw off my reader friend who’ve all rated this book 1-3/5 ⭐️s from the disturbing content. Yes, there is a lot of “ick,”  perversion, and animal cruelty, but I was charmed by Rijneveld’s writing and submerged in the story.  I loved the narrative voice: obviously young and naive, but with literary aptitude for quiet details. Probably will bumpy this up to a 5-⭐️ if it truest borrows itself into my memory.

Ik weet gewoon niet helemaal wat er in dit boek gebeurde. Het is natuurlijk ontzettend sneu, haar hele familie valt uit elkaar na de dood van haar broer Matthies. Dit verklaart echter niet waarom er zo een rare fascinatie is met seks, vooral tussen de familieleden. Het is niet normaal dat je broer zijn vinger in je kont doet, het is niet normaal om te kijken terwijl je zusje masturbeert. Ik begrijp gewoon niet helemaal wat het punt hiervan was. Uiteindelijk gaat ze op het einde dood en is er totaal geen uitleg over hoe en wat. Ik snap dat iedereen op zijn eigen manier met zijn trauma omgaat, maar dit is zo willekeurig en ik vond het om eerlijk te zijn best wel heel erg raar.
