As always, Premee's writing is amazing. It's beautiful and evocative. I was entirely enthralled with the world presented both in the diary entries and in the "present" time. Two places that couldn't be more different but shared origins. I adored it. That said, I'm neither smart enough nor deep enough to grasp the fullness of her stories. I can tell you that this one spoke of the nature of humanity and memory and truth and what is truly important. But I also feel like I'm entirely making that up--like a teenager playing at philosophy. I get it, but I can't ever hope to get it. As with all Premee's stories, I'm left thinking and feeling things that confuse me in the best way.

Unnerving AF; .5 points higher because I keep thinking about it and shivering.
