I wanted it to be more gorey.
There was so much exposition at the begining and it felt like the last part of the book was rushed, the horror element was more implied than gratuitous and gd I wanted to witness the true horror of the surgery, hasta'akala, emillo underwent.

This is one of those books for me where, as soon as I finished reading it, I know that it’s one that has deeply impacted my life, in ways that will continue to unfold. To anyone who might read this book- it’s an incredibly written, deeply moving story, but it contains some heavy content, traumatic experiences, and deep considerations and reflections regarding faith and spirituality, so be prepared for a heavy read (but I considered it to be worth it).
Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual assault
Moderate: Death, Grief, and Emotional abuse
