Lyrical, magical, I love Emezis' style of storytelling and writing. I had read Bitter awhile ago, and finally got around to reading this one. (I know going backwards!) I really love the message of this and the writing style. Check your content warnings, a lot of the subject will hit very close to home for a lot of people. The differences in how Bitter and Jam each approach "their monster" is very interesting and I want to go reread Bitter again to compare, and see how the characters used to be.
Perfect for all ages, highly recommend.
