it is a beautiful book, and i don’t find it as slow paced as some have said!
however, PLEASE inform yourselves of ALL trigger warnings and, if necessary, please check the spoilers for each trigger warning. i read this book knowing what i was going in for, but i cannot put into words how incredibly graphic and triggering this book was.
nonetheless, it was a beautifully sad story.
