You gotta like and be open to a lot of genres to truly enjoy this book, magic realism, fantasy, fables. You have to be okay to not have all the answers cause if you don't, you'll end up like me disappointed. Wanting more or feeling like there was space for a few more pages to give a more concise closure.

I love this book oh my godddd its so horrible and twisted and miserable and beautiful and so unreal! I feel like Chung reached into my dreams and pulled something out and slapped it on the pages with a full backstory. This ones truly for the girls, the brutal girls.

One of the creepiest boos I’ve ever read with quite a few problematic plot devices. However, this is one of the best short story collections I’ve ever read. The quality of the stories never dipped and they always had a unique twist.
