Read for school
This was just a strange, flavorful, and at times horrifying read that I wasn't expecting at all. The characters are all so interesting in their own way and the generational saga worked extremely well for me. It was funny, it was sad, it was horrifying, and it was super weird and it's definitely a book I'll be thinking about a lot more in the future.
