Your grave turned into a bookmark we couldn’t get past. That we kept going back to. You.
I didn’t dislike this but I will say that the commentary on grief outranked almost every “horror” element of this book for me. The discussions of how death can be warped and used as selling points in media and in politics were especially interesting, and the anger that Thiago felt as a result of that was uncomfortable yet so steeped in the truth of how ugly grief can be when it manifests.
