Of the two timelines in the book, the characters in the present day are much more compelling and likable, while still being flawed. The ending is ambiguous in a way that is slightly frustrating, but the story was engaging the whole way through. I couldn’t put it down.
Moderate: Biphobia, Body horror, Death, Suicide, Violence, Stalking, Death of parent, and Lesbophobia
Minor: Sexual content
