This book is an interesting study of a close relationship between siblings breaking down and coming back together — and luckily we get to see both of their perspectives in this!!

It’s a gorgeously written book, nevertheless it’s unique. I find the writing strangely similar to my own pattern of thinking, with references and meaningful but weird descriptions. The family dynamics  are unlike anything I’ve read and it absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful.

An incredible book. It broke and mended my heart all in one. I fell in love with the characters. I adore Jandy’s writing as a neurodivergent reader- it is so wonderfully vivid and alive. I feel like I know these characters so intimately and them & their love will stay with me forever.
