Oof. This book was really good, but hot damn it was an emotional rollercoaster to read. The mysterious plot made it unputdownable, but the emotional trauma exploration of the main character made for heavy, difficult reading. I would recommend this one only if you're in the mental headspace for it, and please make note of trigger warnings.
