I literally finished this book a total of 15 minutes ago, and I am...wrecked. I read it in a daze over the span of a few days while watching my fiancé’s family’s dog/house while they’re on vacation, and y’all. Just. I do not know what to say. I think given more time, I’d be able to spit out a 5-7 page paper, double-spaced, on the different types of victimhood throughout the novel — or the rejection of it — but for now, I got nothing. This was just simply incredible.
