Beautifully written but incredibly twisty and confusing. The very definition of 'unreliable narrator.'
Makes me want to read other things by this author but also makes me hope they make more sense!
Look at the warnings. This book is a weird combination of whimsical and graphic!
Not a big fan of the use of certain racial slurs. They're in historical context, but it still sat a bit iffy with me.
Also not a fan of another incidence of a man 'being in love' with a woman because he likes having sex with her but is never really shown to have a conversation. Pet peeve of mine in male-authored books!
