weird. entertaining. rushes a little too quickly into the big reveal, then doesn’t allow us enough time to live in the world afterwards. still super creative and a triumph in dark comedy satire!

Spoiler

also, i know we’re meant to feel for Nella eventually letting the whole thing happen but i found the ending disappointing and anger inducing. i know it’s supposed to be unsatisfying but that just pissed me off tbh lol.

I had a hard time getting into this book until about half way through, and then I sped through it. A lot of the story is told through flashbacks, but it’s not super obvious visually then they start and end (though that may have been bc I was reading largely on mobile) which made parts a bit confusing. I loved the dystopian/sci fi-ish aspects of the story and wish those had been explored a bit more, but overall I really enjoyed this.
