oh my god, okay! i'm just on the prologue but there was scene that was so profound that i just had to pause and say this.
the cow birth scene???? OH MY GODDD. my situation isn't completely the same, i'm adopted too but my birth mother survived the birth. she was really young (barely turned 16 before having me, was sent to a mormon adoption center in another state to hide her pregnancy from school bc her mom forced her, she had to stay for months in that state) and the circumstances paint a suspicious picture about my birth father (theres a high chance he was her rapist) so i had the same kind of "ruining her life" worried. that scene was PERFECTLY done omfg
