My partner lent me this book to read over my winter break and I'm so glad I read it! I feel like it captures the fallibility and magical elements of childhood memories so well. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes fairytales or fantasy-ish books.
Graphic: Animal death, Child death, Gore, and Violence
Moderate: Body horror and Confinement
