I haven't been this affected by a book in ages. Frequently I had to put it down because I was too scared, or too sad. It freaked me out, broke my heart, stunned me with its beauty and absolutely prodded at my thalassaphobia throughout. AND it was gay. AND a beautiful exploration of grief. And like 200 pages long. So so impressive. Wow.
