It’s weird as hell, but I loved it. The only book I’ve ever read that actually lives up to being called “a fever dream”. 

The last third of the book escalates really quickly and doesn’t explain itself very well, so it adds to the feeling of confusion and suspense, but it also means I didn’t get every plot point. 

Should’ve been gayer, though.

Truly wild and I’m still not entirely sure what happened. Definitely something.

I loved this. It’s weird, trippy, dreamlike, dark, sad, and funny. Probably a divisive book - I was drawn to the writing and vibes from page one and it only got better from there. If the first third of the book isn’t pulling you in, it might not be for you.

I love this book. If you are into the occult and eerie type of fiction this would just be what you’re looking for. It’s hard to give a good review without spoiling the book but it’s probably the easiest to say that if you are not confused after finishing this book you read it wrong. There is a very metaphoric vibe to it

If you like a book with a definite plotline and solid ending, this isn't for you. 
It wasn't bad. It was well written and the voice was interesting and well thought out. It did feel like a feverdream and I'm not 100% sure what was going on most of the time. I liked it enough, but if I hadn't plowed through it, I probably would've put it down and not picked it up again.
