Certainly odd, yet fun? It’s refreshing to read something that is unafraid to stray from reality-grounded fiction popular right now. But it can drag at parts and get stuck in its own lofty rafters of trying to make a commentary on love, lust and death. No matter what assumption you go into this book with, it is nothing like that. Also, if you’re not ready for an unlikeable female protag, unpack that before reading this.
