My understanding of the book is as such:
I don't usually write such long reviews but this book had me utterly captivated. Not for those who get want everything to be set out clearly from start to finish, and dislike loose ends.

I liked the blunt, kind of brutal writing style and some of the themes of art school elitism and the absolute waffle that some artists spew (I study English/creative writing, and it is sometimes ridiculous.)
However at times it was giving ‘not like other girls’ with their tiny little cakes and frillily pink dresses and how that was oh so bad. Also, I know magical realism doesn't always explain the unexplainable, but there was too many questions left completely unanswered at the end. especially the twist which also felt slightly too unexplained to actually make sense and instead just there for shock value.
