This book is pretty good. I still don’t know where it might go but it’s a solid read. It’s grotesque and strange in some parts but in others it’s a bit poetic.

One common theme (I’m not sure if that’s the right word) is the loss of innocence which is “beautiful” portrayed with the cover. The tied up lamb which represents innocence with the halo signifying its holiness. Strikingly sad but powerful.

I don’t know how I feel about this book. I’m only a little ways into this book, but there’s a lot of talk of sensitive topics like abuse and rape. I will say this book is very well written. I’m interested to see where this book goes, because I’m kind of going into this book blind. Which is something I do like to do, but I’m unsure of what route this book will take.

This is a book I’ve been eyeing for a while, so I’m so excited to start it and see how it is! I don’t know much about this book so I’m interested to see how it surprises me.
