In this crazy story about big bear, I was amazed to find such a compelling story. About motherhood, love, hope, betrayal and what it means to be a person. It is gruesome and terrifying but also beautiful and hopefull. The narration style takes a minute to get used to but was the best possible choice for this book.

Okay I gave another book five stars don’t shoot but I just loved this. So different from Dead Astronauts RE pacing, plot, writing style. But so similar to Dead Astronauts RE characterisation, terrifying, beautiful, hopeless and hopeful at the same time, and so fucking good. It’s not for everyone, absolutely, but I loved it.
