This book is haunting and beautiful at the same time. The characters were incredibly vivid and traceable meaning that you could feel how torn apart Elle is between the past and the present. Lovely depiction of nature and the fragility of relationships.
So much (!!!) emotional trauma in one book. Please check the trigger warnings, it gets pretty graphic.
