Absolutely unhinged. This is an amalgamation of Catch the Rabbit (Bastašić), and Animal (Taddeo). Lack of quatation marks for dialogue à la Sally Rooney. Heartbreaking, haunting and riveting. A difficult read which filled me with dread but I could not put it down. This book tackles the trauma of going through a civil war, and how escaping the past does not grant a recovery. I may be biased with my star rating because I am from Bosnia, where some of the plot takes place.
I underlined a lot of the quotes.
