edit: i'm bumping it to five stars, i can't stop thinking about this book

this book was awesome, i loved the magical realism and the aesthetic of it, but it was way too disturbing for me to rate it five stars. be mindful of the trigger warnings, there were some scenes that left me reeling.

I really liked this book overall. The story was super intense and engaging, and it sucked me in right away. The character relationships were really deep and interesting.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the gore was a bit too much for me, to the point where I felt nauseous during the last third of the book.

⚠️TW/CW: Death (children and adults), gore, body horror, suicide, sexual assault, murder, and sexual harassment⚠️

This book was unbelievable. Like... I don't even know what to say... Well for starters I will definitely be reading some more books by this author because holy shit. The way this book is written and the way things are described... disgusting (in a good way). I felt so many emotions during this book. I felt sad, shocked, disgusted, horrified, and even sick at some points. The relationship between the sisters didn't help. It's such an animalistic and uncomfortable relationship and it feels right at home in this book. The twists towards the end of this book had be screaming at the book. I had to take multiple breaks because my heart was racing. I would also just like to throw in that I started this book a week before I went on vacation where I didn't read anything and I would still constantly think about this book. After the vacation I picked the book back up and I was immediately invested all over again. This book was so good I remembered all the details the whole month later! I definitely won't be able to describe how amazing this book is because I would be typing for literal hours because there are so many things I want to talk about. So instead of typing all that take this review as a sign to pick up this book!

I spent most of the time reading this book thinking "what the hell am I reading?", but I also couldn't put it down. The writing was dark and atmospheric, and the story was nothing like I've read before. There was a little bit of predictability to the ending, but there was enough of a twist to leave my jaw hanging for a few seconds.

This one was both full of color and void of it in the same time. Like movies in color with black and white flash backs. That's how I can best describe it. It gave Stranger Things vibes, as well as a little, My So Called Life vibes, in a way. It was emotional and shocking and gripping!  It was both beautiful and grotesque, and now I want more!
