I was not expecting such an impactful novella, but I should have known there was a reason I put it on my TBR! Whoever influenced me to read this, thank you 🙏🏼 

The central theme (the role of death and its responding grief) was executed so well. Not to mention the writing?? Finding out this author also writes poetry made complete sense. There are several quotes I just had to highlight, such as these:

“…drinking its way through her veins, her grief a chlorophyll feeding her and transforming her in the devastation of light.”

“The mental wound, the soul wound, though, was nebulous. An infinite tumbling of brackish water, a rust oxidizing memories. A possession of rot.”

"We fear grief, but grief is just the animal experience of time.”

I really enjoyed this read (and my first buddy read too! Yay!) and look forward to checking out more of Tiffany’s work.
