I wanted to like this book, but I felt like there was no real story. The book just ends abruptly. Something that I also disliked was how all the sudden you have a character describe being SAed, which is partially on me because I did not read the trigger warnings on this book. But it did seem to come out of no where and I do not think added anything of value to this book, so it seemed like the author just added it in for the shock value.
I think the book was really well written lyrically, but the contents were just not for me.

I don't like poetry and the prose here walks that line too closely

DNF. This book is a series of short stories that feature the same characters. All the stories kinda fell flat for me. Poetic in nature, so if that's your jam, you may like this book (or else appreciate it more than I was able to.)
