For as much as I knew about this book going into, I felt unmoored from the beginning almost all the way through the end, which very much felt intentional. It's an incredibly powerful and emotionally gutting book. But as powerful as it is, I often felt at a distance from the characters, like I was a hovering specter above them or watching from afar and I would've really liked to get a bit closer, as raw as that would have been.
