This book is a wild trip from start to finish, you probably won't understand what's written untill the end but that's okay.

Such a good book! The beginning gripped me, I had a hard time putting it down from there, and the ending did not disappoint. I loved the writing style and there are definitely a bunch of new favorite quotes from this.
My only complaint  is that the main character goes back and forth on a lot of things, and come off once and a while as "not like other girls." In one of the later chapters it's especially bad. But for the most part it's forgivable, and if you don't like her, most of the other characters are really likable. And I still really enjoyed this book :)

I'll just say, this was out there, even for A.S. King. Usually her books border on surrealism, but this one felt like it just went a little too far. Maybe I read it too fast? However, there are elements in this book that do connect to everything that happened in the last year. Maybe I just wanted a little more clarity by the end.
