Surreal, heart-wringing, and suspenseful, We Can Never Leave is Edgmon at their most stylistically subversive and character-driven. In Edgmon's usual fashion, the prose is evocative, and the complex characters work to move through their confusing and occasionally horrific circumstances with a lot of anger and a lot of compassion.
If you're looking for a character-driven YA with suspenseful surreality, multiple POVs, fractured perspectives, and a (literally) visceral exploration of religious trauma— this may be THE book for you. It certainly was for me.
