I have no idea how to rate this book, explain it, or even how to feel after finishing it. 
Magical realism was a new genre for me but I think I enjoyed that aspect of it. 
There were parts of this book that made me laugh, cry, scream “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK”, and parts that had me questioning my own sanity. 
I think I really liked it.
I have no idea if I would recommend this book. 
But I am so glad I read it.

This book reminded me of a mix of Moonrise Kingdom, meets Everything, Everywhere all at once, meets The Boy and the Heron

I did not like this book. It did not sit well with me. I don't care that certain scenes are meant to be metaphors - they are gross.
