5.0
Moore writes in such a captivating and starkly human way, I think I'll slurp up any story she puts out regardless of genre. The weaving together of these interlocking stories is done so artfully, you feel like you're discovering them yourself. Shines a dark light on the realities of humanity, and the way every moment ties inexorably into every other moment - even when you think they don't matter.
Graphic: Child death and Death
Moderate: Ableism and Toxic relationship
Minor: Addiction and Classism
