5.0
this book was awesome, i loved the magical realism and the aesthetic of it, but it was way too disturbing for me to rate it five stars. be mindful of the trigger warnings, there were some scenes that left me reeling.

This book is totally out of my wheelhouse, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance! It's a fast, fun read, but you should definitely check out trigger/content warnings before reading as the book can get fairly graphic in its depiction of gruesome imagery. If you like Stranger Things, you'll like this book.
