This book was strangely difficult for me to read. Not because of the themes, although I’d recommend reading trigger warnings, but because it was weirdly slow paced. Or maybe I was in a reading slump? I don’t know. I think I enjoyed it. I don’t like the ending but I suppose it says something. Solid meh
