This is a story about two strong forces of obsession, unable to let go of the past and unable to accept the change in front of them, with a young girl/monster caught in between them. It's pretty clear what she is, not far into the book, but reading about how she continues to change even after so long like that was exciting. All the main characters are really compelling, you get why they're stuck in their minds like that, you feel bad for them in a way, but also can tell how bad things will continue to get, so you continue to read for that fatal, final collision.
