I liked this a lot, like a whole lot. Jesa is really refreshing as a protagonist, found myself relating to her and her repression a lot. The family is so intricately written and I love how it's juxtaposed with taxidermy. Brynn however is my enemy, the loss she dealt to Jesa and Milo is so uniquely awful and they didn't deserve that at all. Wonderful book imo.
