So um... I've never seen this level of taboo outside of fanfiction before. At one point I realized a pair of sexually involved underage first cousins was the healthiest relationship in the place, and things hadn't nearly finished getting bad yet. This is dark. Yet it's also seriously literary about it. For example I had a lot of feelings about some of the nuances with respect to the abusive family. I think that may be the weird thing here. The book is somehow nuanced while winning every how dark can I get contest by a mile. I honestly dont know what I think of the thing as a whole.
