Thoughts: 
* The story POV flips between Roos telling her life story and transcripts detailing her interview with a psychiatrist. This displays Roos as an unreliable narrator 
* Roos' mother feels like a caricature of evil at times (starving Roos, locking her in a small cramped space) but does the job of making you loath the woman like nothing else 
* We get a slow-burning sapphic romance with Roos and Agnes which was enjoyable to watch grow
* Roos relationship with both Ruth & Agnes highlights co-dependency 
* The writing was wonderful and look forward to reading more by the author
