Had no idea what was going on the whole time. But it was a ride.

This is my second time reading this book but the first review I am leaving for it. I LOVE this book. Like, love love it. It haunts my thoughts. It breaks my heart. I want to read it again. And again. I'm obsessed. When I tell you I spent hours on Reddit reading theories from others about their interpretation of this book, especially the ending, I’m not exaggerating. And every perception I read had me in agreement, even when it contradicted the previous theory. I still don’t know if I even I believe what I think. But what I do know is that I love the poetic, flowery writing. It’s so descriptive and beautiful and haunting. I love the main characters Andrew and Thomas. My heart breaks for them and I want to wrap these fictional characters in a tight hug and whisper to them that it will all be alright. Even tho after reading this, I’m not sure that I’ll ever be alright again. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s

It was beautifully written and the concept was interesting.

It would have been more impactful if I had seen the overall relationship between Andrew, Thomas, and Dove.

The manifestation of monsters to represent guilt and grief, very poetic.
