This was explosive. Tremendously written and absolutely brimming with complexities and troubles, hardships, humanity and femininity. The characters were vast and flawed. I’m not even sure how to explain the plot — I think it’s best you just give it a read and let the story untangle itself.

I couldn’t really get into it and it made me hate reading. I HATED the first person perspective and how descriptive it was. Usually I love descriptive books but this was just so weirdly done. We didn’t get any sort of hook to the story which would’ve made me continued reading. Everytime I thought of, looked at or talked about the book my whole body was feeling like ‚UGH‘ and because my ego is so huge and the book LITERALLY defeated my whole being as a person my friends had to convince me of dropping it. So I did. Booooooring

I am so taken by Johnson’s investigations of strange in-between spaces and the strange things people do in them. This book was phenomenally weird, winding and wild.
