This book is hard to describe. It is told in multiple perspectives and is surreal and supernatural and an incredibly slow burn. I don’t know if I fully understand how everything came together or didn’t in the end but I did still think this was an interesting read. I feel like we needed a bit more for this to feel fully resolved and definitely would warn everyone to check trigger warnings as this is not an easy read. This is a tough book to wrap my head around for sure.
