Wow. This left me reeling, in the best way possible I think. Check content warnings before you read, I was not ready for this. Beautiful writing and content.

I don't have words to describe my internal cheering when I discovered 1/5 of the way through that our (first) narrator was unreliable, and the book somehow only kept improving.
