I skimmed this one besties. Will have to go back and read it properly sometime, but I was very much not in the mood for how sad it was.

dark emotional sad tense

5.0

I fear this book will haunt me for a while. There is so much tenderness, that is steadily syphined by violence and cruelty, but in some ways it makes the glimpses of kindness shine even brighter. 
Ultimately I'm left with a deep sorrow for the loss of what their story could have been, and I think that's kind of the point.
