TW: self harm!
I really loved this book. It’s sad and poetic. At times Lilja’s story really resonated with me. Those feelings of trying so hard to make yourself into someone your partner wants. The gaslighting. The depression.
The writing really is exquisite. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
My only complaint is the ending felt too abrupt. I wanted a couple more sections to find out more about Lilja. Does she’s stay with her terrible not boyfriend??? Does she flee??? I need to know.

super quick read. Portrays a relationship where one person is being emotionally manipulated. I wanted a more empowering end and more complex character traits.
