Marcie Pretends to Read reviewed Monkey beach by Eden Robinson
Beautiful atmosphere, incredible characters, very good at exploring themes.
4 stars
I've mostly said everything about my thoughts in my other comment, but overall, this book is stupendously written, and my gripes against it are probably subjective. There were some supernatural elements I wish could've been explored in a little more detail. Highly recommend this, but only if you're doing okay mental-health wise and space it out. Don't binge it like I did—it gets brutal and tragic at times.
