So bad at keeping up with Goodreads but I was entirely absorbed in the first part of this story and am already certain it’s gonna be among my favorites of all time—I also almost had to put it down at a certain point (“I need to go to Andy’s”) because it was so emotionally difficult, so hooooo boy am I in for a treat 🙃

The most beautiful, psychologically immersive, and Deeply Distressing novel I’ve ever read (at this point), with little-to-no exaggeration.
Willem and Jude are two of my favorite characters I’ve experienced in media; I’m in the midst of “The Happy Years” right now and can hardly express how moving they both have been for me. Gonna have to mess up a LOT for this to end up not as my favorite book.

Christ alive this is one of the hardest reads imaginable—just about every Subset of Trauma is rendered so realistically and personally that it feels nearly like a first-person experience of horrific pain.
Despite the Sheer Amount of Devastating Shit, though, it never feels exploitative or pain-porn-ish, but remains deeply empathetic and human to an extent that I don’t think I’ve felt from a novel, ever. Adore

Jesus Christ I can’t stop crying
I’ve never felt more for a character than Jude St. Francis (and, although not going through experiences NEARLY as horrific as him, have resonated at my worst moments with the internal monologue of a character more), and I haven’t cried this much in a piece of media since Everything Everywhere All at Once in April 2022 😤
This will probably be my favorite novel.
