What did I just read? 😂
It felt like a cross between 1984 and The Memory Police, but in a much more mystical way. I wish I liked it more; it had the potential to be weird and whimsical, but unfortunately it fell short.
Every time you’d get to a good part, it would skip to something else and I felt very lost 🥺
I’m giving it 2.5 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨
