SpoilerUnreliable narrator, plenty of literary devices and symbolism that made the book entertaining and more of a puzzle than just a story. Lots of #deep passages that might come across as disingenuous but it’s difficult because the narrator is so ~interesting~. I found this book to be frustrating because it was simultaneously doing THE MOST, but still had some good take away themes.
