The writing is pretty good. But, that's about where my positivity ends. I really struggled to finish this book. I heard such good things about this one and I could not figure out why I hated it so much. It's not because the story is weird, or the main character is a terrible whiny person who I was annoyed by the whole time.. 
But I feel like I finished it and was left with a WTF did I just read taste in my mouth. I got absolutely nothing out of this book at all and I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

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.
