I wanted to enjoy this but I could not get invested in the story. I found it to be so uneventful at times that this book put me to sleep twice. I did enjoy 'Poor Deer' and the unreliable narrator. It has all the trappings of making for a good book but I think the pacing for me was incredibly slow. I'm so sad not to have enjoyed it.
Moderate: Child death
Minor: Self harm
