unbearable characters. UNBEARABLE. But I believe this was the author’s aim so props to her because she aced that!! Unconventional characters and ending, felt like a thoughtful discussion of human flags. If you’re looking for a book that leaves you saying “what the actual f-“ out loud, this one is definitely for you. Gets creepier and weirder with each page, but not in a wrong way (?).
