This book felt like a surreal rollercoaster ride with a hint of pee and rotten apples. It's not my cup of tea per say, but I kept reading because I felt curious of what's gonna happen next. Needless to say, this book is hard to recommend to other people.

“But the apple was first, and it never stops rotting, it just gets blacker.”

Really wanted to like this more than I did. Description and imagery was beautiful, and the atmosphere - including the building of dread - was effective. However I don’t feel like that suspense built towards anything and the narrative lacked a satisfying conclusion.
