I hate when a book with an incredibly unique premise ends up being a massive flop. I'm not sure what she wanted to accomplish with this but it's a hard pass.

This book was just all over the place and just tremendously bizzare.

Like I was expecting it to be strange but this definitely exceeded my expectations. I don’t know what act of god convinced me to finish this book but here I am.

On the bright side I was very entertained at parts cause I had no idea what was coming next and some moments were genuinely funny. The end fell a little flat for me and some part were just a real excruciating read.

Idk who I would recommend this to but if you just want to experience a VERY strange story give it a shot !

This book is bonkers, in a great way. After reading, I lent it to a friend who reminded me of some of the whackier character decisions (like gnarly feet). While I enjoyed reading, the novel didn’t stick with me in an impactful way after the fact.
