dark emotional mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

A very difficult story told beautifully and with great care, but it still could be triggering to many people so please heed the content warnings. McKinley handles her dark subject matter so well though, that I really enjoyed this story of growth, and I found the ending very satisfying.
