challenging dark emotional funny inspiring reflective sad tense

4.0

I'm still thinking about this book. So many themes, so many thought-provoking impulses - I might feel the need to do something I rarely do (especially if I only just read the book) which is rereading a book.

------------

Literal chills.

Lots of triggers, look for warnings.
