⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had no idea how to rate this because I thought it was nonfiction, it had me so believing the storyline.
What a gut punch.
Jess is a lesbian and a scientist, studying altruistic suicidal behaviours in spiders (of all things). The novel discusses her personal relationships - touching on mental illness, trauma, queer love, and family dynamics.
Overall a moving and captivating story that will stay with me for a long time.
