I really adored this book. I love the extended metaphor for grief and the story telling done by Armfiled. I did find the ending unsatisfying, I wish we even got a little bit of an answer ad to what happened. I can handle somewhat vague endings but this one certainly left a lot to be desired. Other than that 10/10 perfect.
Graphic: Grief, Body horror, and Confinement
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail and Vomit
Minor: Death of parent and Death
