5.0

Loved it. The characters’ relationships are emotionally, morally, and sexually complicated. The story is beautifully written, organized in a unique way because of the transcripts. Animals play a meaningful and symbolic role throughout, as do houses and buildings. I really felt immersed in the setting and invested in the characters.
