This book was phenomenal. Although it was a long read, I got very into it and enjoyed the various representations throughout. It represented polyamory, asexuality and being queer, too.
There was rich world building that made it so easy to visualise everything.
By the end of the book I was sobbing, there are so many plot twists that keep you on your toes. 5 stars isn't enough!

This book is beautifully heartbreaking. Listening to this book had me laughing and crying. Such an honest, brutally sad memoir that had me reflecting on my own grief.
