This book is so frustrating bc I like the themes and the prose is amazing but itās v much falling victim to the tell donāt show trap. E.g thereās a beautiful monologue from the father figure where he just seems to make a bunch of inferences based on minimal input and extrapolates it to talk about the importance of acting out of kindness - it was beautiful but like⦠felt shoehorned in to fit thematically ??
