Note that, despite having a teenage protagonist, this is not a YA novel. It's a dark, ambiguous, subtly-written story about isolation, faith, memory, and the difference between what you do and what you think.

There's no way I can describe this book that does it justice. It packs a lot into under 500 pages, so it has to be read slowly.

I wasn't sure how I felt about it at the end, but I ended up writing over 1000 words in my notes app trying to analyse it, so I guess that means I loved it.
