It was a captivating book that kept me hooked. The ending left me with some questions that didn't get answered. Enjoyed most of the characters but there were some relationships/characters that could have been developed more.

One you have to think on after reading.

The way the author discusses the singular fat character is really uncomfortable.

I have to say I don't think I fully grasped what this story was attempting to express to me. It was disturbing, winding, and gleaming with visual detail, but I never felt fully engaged in what was going on because I was questioning it too much. There were also some lines that were unnecessarily offensive, namely the way the briefly introduced transgender woman was described as "a boy who thinks she's a girl". This is a weird, unique story but not one I feel especially strongly about or would recommend to other readers.
