I have owned this for years, since I was 15 I think, and I'm about to turn 21, and never got around to reading it.
So incredible. What a life, what a voice, what a fucking woman. This book validates so many of my own experiences and feelings as a queer person and as a feminist and as a victim of abuse. This got through to me like I never expected it to. And to think my DAD bought this for me not long after I came out to him and whilst I was in the midst of the roughest time of my life. Did he know what he was buying me? Either way I don't think I could've truly taken it all in back then like I did now. I think books like that come into your life when you're ready for them.
Thanks dad x

That was a gooden. Even after you think everything has been revealed there's still more. It broke my heart a few times though.
I have a lot of feelings about this one.
After what was a slow start this really started to grow on me.
At its core this is very raw and uncensored which I love. This book subconsciously addresses the topic of consent in a really confronting and in your face way without ever even broaching the subject.
It is a book about nature. And the things that occur in nature. Between humans. Between birds. Between cows. Both beautiful and ugly and everything in between.
This was never far fetched. I think anyone who's grown up in working class suburban Australia can see a part of their life in this book. It took me back to my grandmother's house in western NSW.
In essence, a well thought out and engaging read, if a little slow in places.

3.5 for an ending that felt super rushed. Overall though I throughly enjoyed the prose and found it to be a really engaging writing style.
I fucking love the way Flynn writes fucked up and flawed characters - women in particular. I just sat up till 1am finishing this, a little angry at myself for being such an overthinker and figuring half out before the ending instead of just letting myself sit back and read but hey.
Runner and Diondra were such a great characters. So twisted. Actually the first book I've found hard to stomach in parts.
