Minor: Animal death
I very much wanted to give this a five star rating, because in my opinion the writing is that good. I really enjoyed "Booth" and this was just as good. However, "..Beside Ourselves", takes a turn that contains several triggers for me and I wished I had known before picking this book up. Maybe it isn't possible to reveal the content warning without spoiling the plot (I will list below). Karen Joy Fowler is an amazing writer and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.bluedilly's review against another edition
