This book was delightfully absurd and creative. I love what Chana did with the world and how the ideas are implemented but this book is so short and it needn’t be. I was left wanting more; from the world building, the character development, and the writing in general. There was very little subtext, all of the messages that the author wanted to portray were just said by someone in the book or thought by the protagonist. 

That being said, this book made me seriously question ideas about mortality, what I would do if I could choose when I died, and the privilege that comes along with being upset that everything is fixed for you. And there was delicious queer representation, the gays are eating well tonight folks.
