Brat by Gabriel Smith

4.0

It was me but lost its shape, still slight ridged where it had run over my ribcage.

3.5 rounded up ⭐⭐⭐✨
I absolutely respect the scale of what Smith was trying to accomplish but some of the threads just didn't end up tying together for me, but there are moments of absolute propulsion that pull you through.

"Hmmm," I said.
"It's ugly, but it's natural. But history is the opposite of memory. Each time you remember you rewrite."
