Don't know how to talk about this book or how reading it affected me. (Extra don't know how to do so without using the word "haunting.") There were chapters that made me feel like I couldn't breathe; Nova Ren Suma's writing makes me feel that way frequently, literally breathtaking. There's a chapter around page 200 that is I think one of the best chapters of any book that I've ever read ((view spoiler)[the quick short series of girls disappearing; I'll never stop thinking about Isabeth, in particular (hide spoiler)]). This book is beautiful and terrible, it swirls around in your head, it's powerful and totally crushing, and I don't know what else to say about it.
