Wow 🥲 Together We Rot was haunting and heartbreaking and so beautiful.
It focuses on Wil, whose mother has been missing for a year, and Elwood, her former best friend whose family runs the local church.
I had no idea the synopsis of this book when I went into it, so the whole plot was a surprise and I ended up loving it.
The religious cult elements of this book really added a scare factor. Then the fantasy/slightly paranormal aspects were an added touch.
This book deals with a lot of heavy topics such as alcoholism, substance abuse, religious trauma, physical abuse, death of a parent, and probably a few other things I am likely forgetting.
It broke my heart at the beginning when we learned how Elwood was treated by his father. Then the holding broke my heart in a whole different way.
I did feel like this some of this book was a bit rushed and maybe certain parts didn’t connect fully, but I really did love it.
