Will be an obvious reread in the future and a study piece on writing style and voice.
I’m not giving it quite 5 stars because I had no problem putting it down halfway through and reading a full other book before I picked it back up and at times the long streams of consciousness became exhausting. Regardless, will be one of the best books I read this year and glad I bought a physical copy.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Racism, and Miscarriage
Minor: Drug abuse, Abortion, and Suicide

As well, the way the characters acted and reacted in situations was borderline psychotic, to the point where you wonder if the entire book is just a fever dream. The book is weird and I like weird, I'll give it that, but its strangeness is also its weakness.
Moderate: Racism, Suicide, and Abortion
