Just an amazing book with a timeless message. I had no idea what this book was about when I read it and it just made the book that much more special. Would recommend this to every and anyone who cares about our issues in our society.

Well written but so so heavy. I wish I would've read the synopsis before I started this book because I was not in the right mindspace for it. It took so long for me to finish it because it reminded me of my traumas.

An interesting exploration of “monsters”. It was heartbreaking & heavy at times, but it felt like one of those fables that teach a lesson at the end (in a good way). Jam goes on a journey with a seeming monster called Pet to hunt monsters in a place built on having no monsters, but that’s because no one wants to look. It also breaks down the classic conflict of good vs evil. What is good? What is evil? What is a monster? Pet looks like a monster, but he is a savior.
