Tate offers a compelling look at a single moment as a mystery slowly unravels. The juxtaposition between the group and single chapters was the most interesting element of the book. At the core of the book there is also an interesting plot which helps to drive the story forward. This book struggles form what many contemporary lit fic books seem to struggle from which is lack of compelling characters. It’s not that the characters are unlikable simply that I never felt I really understood any of them, or even how the group functioned. Part of this is due to the style of the book but there are seems an effort to maintain a sense of mystery by Tate that leads to all the characters being kept at arm distance. This brings a hollowness to the story which made the book difficult to engage with.

this book nudged its way into my head with force. that ending has left me mentally paralyzed—its like I don’t know what any of it means, but I also do, instinctively. this simply just worked for me. theres no way it will for everyone. in fact, I’m sure many will hate it. the surreal nature that blurs each well-crafted sentence together made such a freaky picture. being a girl is so weird, so magical, and so terrifying. brutes captured those contradictions and turned them into synonyms. color me impressed! and scared. and sad. can’t wait for this to cross my mind randomly until it maybe, emphasis on maybe, gets forgotten. this review makes no sense, and neither does this novel. LOVED!
