I highly recommend going into this blind like I did! You'll either love it or hate it.

It wasn't until the twist was staring me right in the face that I understood.
I was a bible study kid, so I'm surprised I didn't see it sooner but once Cascavel started laying it out I was like waaaaaaaaait a second, is this about adam & eve!?! I had to go back and skim it after I finished and it was all right there, I just didn't see it. All the rules and neighbors and odd things, even the names of the neighbors.


Definitely started out giving me some Don't Worry Darling vibes.  I enjoyed that it was so quick though, because honestly
if this was a long read that turned out to be biblical, I would've probably been highly annoyed lol
