What’s your all-time favorite novel? I’m just looking for the GOAT; I’m tired of reading books that lots of people like but no one really loves.

I could not put this book down. I don't normally compare books to films as they engage my brain in different ways, but this book was as enrapturing and vivid as an A24 piece. Just writing this makes me want to reread it.

“A gut punch of a book with an unforgettable narrator. 14 year old Turtle Alveston spends her days exploring the wild northern California coast and trying to escape an increasingly violent home life. Fierce, raw, and too beautiful to look away from. “Hold tight to the world and do not let go and do not fuck this up.””
