I loved this book - I couldn't put it down. This is a story about two siblings and their kind of fucked up relationships with the people around them. Mirabella's storytelling is unique and absolutely compelling. And he creates complex, unpredictable characters through almost understated details.
I don't write reviews on here often, but this book is going to stick with me for a long time. Truly exceptional.

This was such a captivating read full of complex relationships and examinations of the effects of trauma. The characters weren't loveable, but they felt so real, and I loved the structure and how it combined the past and present. It was heartbreaking and beautifully written. If you love stories that make you feel deeply, I would highly recommend Brother & Sister Enter the Forest to you.
