This book is one of the few I've read that drilled into the MC's fractured mind and her ever increasing detachment from reality and humanity, that felt so chilling, so true and gnawing, and catastrophic even. It was very atmospheric, transporting, and affecting indeed. I feel hollowed out right now. Didn't think this book would affect me so. Honestly, many thoughts (or rather feelings) head full but I really enjoyed this.
