I’m not sure if I can give a summary of this book without spoiling the whole plot, so I won’t.
Wow. This was a story I wasn’t expecting. I felt intense sadness experiencing this story and I’m still wrestling with whether I actually enjoyed this book or not. There some “wait…what?!” moments that totally stopped me in my tracks, but, for me, the feeling I felt the most while listening was sadness and varying degrees of hollowness. The story felt a little disjointed at times because of the changing narrator points of view, but it may have also been because I listened to it over the course of a week and a half or so.
Graphic: Body horror, Child abuse, and Mental illness
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Confinement
