My Booktube

This is a weird collection to explain, but in short I liked it but it is def not for everyone and it takes awhile to get used to the narrative style.

tw: there is a story focused on suicide. mentions of rape and residential schools as well.

this is like a 3.5/3.75 for me so I’m rounding up. I didn’t “like” this in the usual sense. It’s a case of you can tell it’s great writing and I enjoyed most of the stories. My favorite was probably the one focused on suicide, story 9 I think. I would quote it but I listened via audiobook so lol
