*sobbing*
bro this is part of my 'weird deformed boys that just want to live or be loved' streak I've been on by accident (Frankenstein, the glutton, lapvona, obscene bird of night, perfume) and again just so good.
This book is about the death of a child and his parents' inability to let him go, resulting in them transposing him onto someone completely different. Also about the apathy of nature and animalistic nature. Predators gotta eat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We have an entirely gay cast in this book, and a lot of different perspectives and personal details, the last part of this book reminded me a lot of the Armin Miewes case.
