A sad tale of growing up in small town USA. The art was really detailed and haunting. I also liked the portrayal of the Mahs.I did not like that the only queer-assumed character perpetuated sexual assault.

**the only reason this book gets three stars is because of the illustrations, otherwise it’s a 1.5 for me**
Well. This book sure is a major bummer. The illustrations are stunning though and very beautiful and atmospheric. But such a sad story. not really what I expected, but I didn’t even read the synopsis, soooo kind of my fault.
