5.0

Oh. My. God. I haven’t read a book as good as this in a long time. Awad takes the best parts of all her previous novels and combines them in this book. Beautiful prose writing that makes you feel like you’re losing your mind just like the protagonist, and a really emotional discussion of grief and mother-daughter relationships that left me in bits. This book will live rent-free in my head for a long time.
