Easily one of my favorite books this year! Shesheshen is a delightfully funny and surprisingly romantic monster. Homily is so lovely and warm and I want to be her best friend. Not only did this book entertain me, but it also sparked some questions about parenthood, desire, and grief that I'll be ruminating on for a while.
