I was quite skeptical of this book before reading it, it felt like it would be too “out there” - but this was a pleasure to read.

It’s not for everyone, I’ll say that, but it’s actually sooo good. Almost none of the characters are likeable for a majority of this book, but that’s the point.

This book is quite sad while still being so full of love that’s it’s bursting at the seams with it.

This was definitely worth the hype.
