This is the type of book that sticks with you long after you’ve finished it. It was haunting and heartbreaking. The writing was incredible and the way this author handled such a delicate topic was masterful. I’m truly baffled at how well this was executed because I’ll be honest—I was skeptical going in after reading the synopsis. Glad I read this novel. As hard as it was to read, it’s such a necessary body of work.
