I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this book for my BOTM box, but I was pleasantly surprised! The writing is unlike anything I’ve read before, the prose was so lovely. I ended up enjoying the structure and the way the author broke the book up into small paragraphs and snippets of each character’s story. This book deals with some important topics, such as mental illness and caring for a loved one as they physically and mentally decline. The animal metaphor was very well done in each scenario, and it added to Wren’s character development and personality. Overall, this ended up being a great story, and a marvelous way to discuss love and the simultaneous heartbreak that can come with it. A great debut novel for this author, I loved this!
