I would recommend going into this book as blind as possible so I'm gonna fuck around with this review.
But first, actual reviewy thoughts:
- If you liked Normal People this will probably be for you.
- Embrace confusion when you read it, you are not missing details, it's the book.
- I'd consider this a beach read but NOT a light read, it happens on an island and it's short so that's beachy I guess.
- The writing is not traditional, I'd say it's not too alternative but the pacing of the sentences change, the wording and the format adapts very well to what you are meant to feel.
