challenging mysterious slow-paced

3.0

the main characters rly took the phrase “go piss girl” to a whole other level and that is all i will say on that. maybe this was a bit too abstract for me or maybe i just needed to be on psychadelics to rly grasp it. if u like queer surrealism horror-ish stuff (with lots of biology references) u may like this !

I don’t know how to feel.
The experience of reading this book was deeply unpleasant. For some reason though, I couldn’t abandon it. I had to know where things would go between the two girls. Their bizarre, consuming interaction was the most compelling aspect of the book.

I definitely didn’t enjoy myself, and I was glad when it was over, but the author did succeed at keeping me through to the end. The imagery is certainly evocative (for better or worse), and succeeded at provoking a physical response from my mycophobic ass.

Overall, I’m happy to move on and try not to think about this again, but I think this book is going to grow in my mind like a fungus. Because of that, I think the author succeeded in telling the kind of story she wanted to tell.

PS—if you can’t handle copious amounts of mold and piss, skip this one.
