This was so strange and unexpected, but gahdamn that ending made me feel some things. The writing was very vibrant. It was filled with so many metaphors, making the twists rather unexpected.

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.
