woah. this book was ... an experience. at some point towards the 3/4 mark, i just had to pull back and let myself experience without questioning or trying to comprehend was was *actually * happening. if you read this, know that you will be confused.
lakewood asks some interesting questions and the concept is SO good. the execution was a little back-and-forth for me (i almost wondered if the format should have been entirely letters?).
CW: medical trauma/content, racism, body horror, cancer, chronic illness, gore, death, torture, emotional abuse, gaslighting, grief
