A super lush and haunting story. A bit slow to start up but filled with everything dark and gruesome and enchanting.
This book engages with conversations on race, mestizaje, gentrification, and gendered roles.

reflective sad tense fast-paced

Truly an atrocious story. Like watching someone pick at their festered scabs. A car wreck at high speed where there is no hope for survival. Sickening, putrefying, humanity.
