Jim's Review
🐛
This book is quiet, precise, and absolutely devastating — like finding out your favorite garden has been paved over. Lowry strips away everything colorful and comfortable to ask what it really means to be alive. Jim felt every memory Jonas received right down to his segments. A masterpiece of restrained storytelling. Five worms, each one earned.
