Some scenes/themes in this book resonates so much with me that it made me feel nauseous, especially since it's written in second person. However, it lost me a bit with the magical realism aspect and the heavy focus on Lorcan as a love interest in the last 2-3 chapters . I usually love magical realism , but it felt out of place in a book so rooted in real life. I still enjoyed the majority of the book though!
