I adored this. It’s so weird and the style of storytelling is different but We Could Be Rats was very similar so I didn’t have trouble following it! 

Enid was so endearing and such a complex character. So many of her thoughts made me giggle and I was so interested in the “why” of what was going on! I liked that there was a little bit of a mystery to figure out and the way everything was revealed felt very powerful. 

I really thought Polly was going to be a crazy person when we first met her but she ended up being such a lovely character. Her acceptance of Enid, quirks and all, was so sweet. 

Really all of the characters were so nuanced and complex and I feel it’s a perfect reminder of everyone we meet being a fully formed human with their own experiences and emotions. We’re all just trying to navigate life with a parasite in our brain, ya know? Don’t let your parasite make you think you’re a bad person! 

Anyway, another weird, endearing, silly, reflective read by Emily Austin. She’s quickly becoming a fave for me!

I was really enjoying this but the ending was so rushed that it just left me unsatisfied? It just felt like a lot of buildup for very little payoff
