Really crisp, quick, eerie and upsetting ... I appreciated the use of white space and ultra-short chapters to make the narrative more choppy and disorienting as this nightmarish book went on.

The translation from Icelandic is seamless, allowing a clear path into the protagonist's troubled and turbulent world. It was a clever and gripping representation of heavy subjects, since the novella ultimately sheds light on the dangers of untreated emotional pain, revealing how it can lead to a downward spiral of self-destruction.
With a short, fast-paced narrative, the author explores the devastating impact of pathological grief on the human psyche, particularly in the aftermath of losing a best friend, in this case, also a sibling. This novella conveys the complex emotions and thoughts that can consume an individual, affecting relationships, mental health, and sense of self after such immense loss.

easy read but predictable and kinda boring
I liked how this was written but it didn’t go anywhere. It had a lot of promise. I just wish the plot resolved and was more interesting.
