I’ve been searching for a book that manages to hit the right tone between funny and emotional, light and dark (and that isn’t Otessa because I’ve read all of her!). This was it. Engrossing, real-seeming characters, animal imagery, and weird sex stuff abounds. Now need to go back and read Beagin’s previous work!
