I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.Wow. I need to decompress after this novel.It's very depressing and deals with a lot of heavy stuff. However I really enjoyed reading this. The writing is beautiful. The main character Coo has a very honest voice and a stark attention to detail. The novel moves along at a very slow pace but personally I love slow books because I savour any chance to stay in the authors world a little longer.I did however feel that there was not much resolution in this novel and that didn't sit too well with me, at the end of my reading I remember just sitting there, looking at the last page wondering "Is that it"?. This book reads like a diary, not in the format but rather in the thought process. Coo secretly sharing her innermost secrets and worries everyday. The lack of dialogue in this novel added to the diary feel.Overall I would recommend this book. The writing was great and it makes a beautiful debut novel.
