Oh, I really liked this!

"Eat it, you fucking pig, eat it." As we all know next up is our good sis Eve, and she, indeed, is going to make him fucking eat it. Good for her. Sidebar: Cascavel can GET IT! Not, sorry!

WHATTTTT this was so weird. At first, I was like "this is literally the Mitski music video for Happy," but then I realized it was waaaaaaay more. There is so much symbolism in this book, I honestly don't know what most of it means. Definitely worth a reread.

Sparse and chilling. Would recommend going in blind, I’m glad I did. The use of HOA rules is brilliant. Easily read in one sitting.
