I picked up this book because I had read House of Hollow by the same author, and the cover and description spoke to me.
I was sucked in from the first page, finding Esther quirky and weird, with a very active imagination and Jonah adorable and loving.
Somewhere in the middle I strayed away; maybe because some of the topics hit a little close to home. I nearly didn’t pick the book back up but after a few weeks I was ready to finish it. And I’m so glad I did. The ending wrapped everything up really well, while still leaving parts open to your own interpretation.
While the character are mostly lighthearted and joke about their problems, this book explored a few different mental health issues in great detail, through the eyes of a girl with a very active imagination.
I definitely highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about different types of love and fear, and explore mental health issues in a really imaginative way.

larayn's review
It is funny, especially in the beginning, but the subject matter couldn't get any heavier. Seriously, so many triggers here.
As far as the quality of the book, it's highly readable and I liked it.
The message is important. The "mythology" of the book started to fall apart toward the end and stop making sense, though.
