I really liked the first 2 sections of this book (my favorite was Angela). Having grown up with a father who had a cancerous brain tumor that completely changed his personality and made him very angry all the time, I personally read Lewis’s mutation in this kind of light. Be prepared for heartbreak with this book.

I do feel that Habeck has room to grow with her prose. The format of the book is pretty interesting and I appreciate that. Some of the things Lewis says to Wren are exceedingly beautiful imo. Maybe the simplicity throughout is quite purposeful and just not my taste.
