Second Read: This book was IMMENSELY more enjoyable (and heart wrenching) the second go around. I’m frankly astounded at how much went right over my head on the first read. I should also say that it was remiss for me to spend so much of my first review talking about how funny it is. It IS funny, but it’s also so deeply sad that it’s hard to wrap your head around. There is so much grief at the forefront—the plot is necessary, but it”s driving force, at every point, is grief.

This book has changed my brain chemistry; much like Gideon the Ninth, I laughed out loud, I cried, I shook my head in confusion and said "what the fuck???" and enjoyed it so so much (though i do think it l this book could have been 75 pages shorter; parts of the middle kinda dragged for me). It'll be some time before a reread, but I can't wait for it.
I'm also VERY excited to delve deeper into theories (and hope I don't spoil myself since I haven't read Nona yet). Maybe I can start to connect more dots that I missed.
