That doesn't happen here, but it walks a close line.
The lyrical prose reads like many poems strung together. The unique writing with no "" marks for dialogue works surprisingly well, not causing confusion.
If you don't like it in the first 10 min, set it down it won't get better for you. But if you are intrigued, it should satisfy.

The characters are incredibly & disturbingly real. And the ending. The ending felt like slotting in the last piece of a puzzle - perfectly fitting but tinged with remorse at how it had to end.
The most coherent thought I have about this book is that it reminds me of House of Hollow, just less glamorous & fantastical & for an adult audience.

In writing Sisters, Daisy Johnson creates a palpable and ruinous atmosphere of codependency. This book and its slow-burn plot are an extraordinary reminder that sometimes the most important relationships can also be the most damaging.
