There is so much to be said about this book that I do not even know where to begin.
While Monstrilio didn't take me on the journey I expected it to, it did fill me with endless emotions as it touched on love, loss, grief, and labels and expectations. This book spoke to me in a way I had not expected it to.
(Please look up the trigger warnings first, but....) go read Monstrilio!
