The Heathers meets The Island of Doctor Moreau. That’s the vibe. It’s  campy body horror, and I have a lot of mixed emotions about it right now.

I’ll be honest, I have no idea what I just read but I loved it. It’s dark and strange in a way that I’ve never seen before. You would think horror in a simplistic way, but in reality it’s so twisted in a way that maybe you’re not supposed to understand and that is what makes it enjoyable. I could honestly see it being a limited series on Hulu.

I loved this book! I think if you get it, you get it, and if you don't, then you don't. And that's totally fine! I had some trouble understanding it in the beginning, as I don't usually read magical realism, but I really enjoyed it the more I read. It was super interesting and I loved that plot twist at the end!!!!!! 2022 is the year where I read books out of my usual comfort zone, the first one being "A Touch Jen" by Beth Morgan, and I'm having a great time. it.
Don't go into this book thinking it's gonna be a light read--quite the opposite! This book will make you think so you can understand the magic behind it.
