The style most definitely reflects Cadence’s mental state, as do the heavy, violent metaphors. I found the book mysterious and edgy. It reminded me of the work of Celeste Ng, but with a lot less plot.

I think maybe the writing style. 🤷‍♀️

I just didn’t realize until the big reveal about the fire and deaths!!
