A very moving read. It felt awkwardly, beautifully human. I enjoyed the exploration of connection, identity, and trauma through Marianne and Connell. The writing was both straightforward and full of depth, and the narrator of the audiobook on Libby did a fantastic job. Definitely would recommend this novel to others!
