Maybe I am just not smart enough for this book... because what the fuck did I just read?
I spent most of it going "what the heck is even happening right now?" I almost DNF'd in the first chapter because it was kind of gross, but I was also intrigued so I kept reading. And then the blurb said the stories were interconnected so I kept reading to see HOW. And sure, some of them were, but I never did figure out how that first one tied into the rest... This was just too bizarre for me, not a fan.

Nonsensical. Reminded me of a try hard lit graduate's collection of short fiction.

I wish this book was longer! The story sets up an intriguing but terrifying picture of how a changing environment could threaten the human experience. I think the disturbing sexual content was unnecessary.
A bit too vibes based instead of plot for my tastes.

VERY similar to the Southern Reach trilogy. If you liked those you'll like this. I enjoyed it and would read more by this author.
