loving the book so far ! i like the fact that the narrative feels like a series of scenes or vignettes. i like that despite being mostly retrospective it still manages to shock and enthral in a way that i didn’t expect for this narrative structure. the chapters are super long but that’s not an issue as there are enough page breaks to pause wherever.

holy fuck. the medley of intertwined characters and stories and their final resolve in chapter 4, you think that they might not go, you think that they might actually make it out. but no, and the suffocation of the house; it hits so close to home, there’s so much of my 15 year old self in these pages if i’d ever managed to go through with it. lost for words innit
