Ik heb perongeluk de laatste 2 pagina’s verspreid over een dag omdat ik dacht ‘omg nog 9 pagina’s’ waardoor het einde een beetje als een anticlimax voelde maar eigenlijk is het gewoon vaag en weird en het hele boek vond ik fantastisch, ook omdat het uit Pew hun perspectief geschreven is. Echt een fijne read<3

5.0

Okay, so first of all, this is a short book. That being said, there is a LOT going on in these 207 pages. Lacey crafts a wonderfully eerie and somewhat dreamlike main character while most of the other characters seem so real and relevant it's unsettling, like a situation you can't look away from. Religion, politics, race, immigration, gender, identity, philosophy, you name it. It's in this book. And Lacey has written it in a way that I think will look different for every reader. Everyone will see something different in Pew, the character, and their wandering thoughts that seemed to gain more substance to me as I read. Another reviewer mentioned this book as "holding up a mirror" and I think I agree with that. The ending, though, I'm still not sure I grasped completely (the festival was definitely unsettling, however, especially with all the half answered questions!) but I don't think we were meant to...

The lack of finely detailed world-building in favor of an amorphous Anytown, USA works to Lacey's favor to get her message across that really, who are any of us truly?
