dark sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

the writing is beautiful, i was instantly hooked by it. the book deals with some horrendous heavy topics, so it was a difficult read emotionally, but i still really really liked it. it captures loneliness, isolation, a desperate desire to belong very well
