A very beautiful, poetic book! It’s a quick read and worth every second of it. It is dark and haunting, but also beautiful and moving.

This book was amazing. It's hard to write a review because I think people need to go in. I will say that I think anyone grieving- and that could be anything (a person, a dream, the planet)- this is such an impactful read.

I gave it 4 stars at this moment because it just feels right. There is SO much in this book, and I don't think I got it all this read. I want to read this again in a couple years, and try and tie together even more of what I missed.

Moderate: Sexual assault

There are a lot of discussions of death (not surprisingly). Some of them are graphic. it's hard to remember them all at this time so just general trigger warnings for lots of areas.

I added about 1 star for the ‘Oh, to be a piano!’ which I found charming. Otherwise, this was a book that felt basically irredeemable, I finished it out of spite.
