This book is unlike anything I’ve read. The book is more speculative, being more a compilation of different types of prose rather than just a normal story with chapters. Although underneath all the different thoughts and feelings, there is a baseline story, I don’t think that’s really the point of the book. The subject is more the feelings and thoughts surrounding death and the passing of people around us, and the changes and affects that has on us. 

altogether it was an interesting and unique read. I did find some of the book a little tedious and hard to get through, but overall the book was interesting. Enjoyed reading it!

the tags have all been tagged in the explicit section. Although none are described in masses of detail, some of them did make me feel uncomfortable and they are themes that run throughout the book. The narrator, Wolf, struggles with mental health issues due to his past which relates to a lot of these tags. I would advise to read with caution, even though some of it isn’t explicit it is obviously hinted at and talked about
