This is such a beautiful, dark group of intertwined stories despite the title.
Lost 1 star, as I never wanted this to end.

I do not entirely know what to make of this book. I liked it, I know that. I found the interlocking stories fascinating and incredibly engrossing. I liked the look at how the ripple effects of violence are shown across different people's lives. The stories were just so bizarre and yet somehow written somehow to reflect a kind of mundane life. I just feel so wonderfully baffled by this read.
