Rijneveld is dol op vergelijkingen, en daar staat het boek dus ook vol mee. En dan zijn het ook nog vergelijkingen en taalgebruik die een kind in de leeftijd van de hoofdpersoon in het boek eigenlijk niet echt zou kunnen bedenken voor mijn gevoel.
Dus tja, wat zal ik ervan zeggen? Een goed debuut, toch wel, en benieuwd naar een vervolg, maar ik had er tegelijkertijd ook meer van verwacht.

writing was beautifully descriptive though
Still it made me keep reading to find out what happens to the child mc. I also get why it was gross in someway, as it is meant to be uncomfortable and traumatic, and it's about what grief does to you if you handle it the wrong way. Though.. why would you ever want your name to be on this book? I wonder why she wrote this.
It was still interesting, but for it's contents I don't think I can give it higher than a 3, but also not lower as the story did make me invested, and it was a horror read as said before. If you plan on reading this, do it now and not in other months. Or if you love gross books, go ahead, this one is really gross.
Though the Dutch culture, and Christian Dutch culture was fun to read throughout this book as someone who comes from that culture. Lot of recognizable things mostly from my siblings memories. I think my brother is born the same year as the MC. I would've been born around the time of the book.
