I feel like I don't have enough brain cells at the moment to fully articulate what I feel about this book. Every time I thought I understood it something happened that just turned everything on its head. There is just so much to unpack, and this will definitely be living in my mind for a long time. There's a reason why this book is so famous.

Wow, this was really good. Horrifying and gross and very of-its-time writing style (complete with more than a few eye-roll-y choices but whatever), but I liked how it played with structure and narration.
