I genuinely did like the novel. The writing is fantastic and the characters are odd but also believable. That said, the multitude of intersecting narratives didn't always feel cohesive. I don't think the novel would have benefitted from stripping it down to a single third-person perspective but there are characters that could have been eliminated entirely (Hope and her husband) to give others (Joan) more space without taking anything from the larger plot.

This lacked any sort of the depth it was obviously trying to have.
If you’re squeamish about animal abuse at all, stay far far FAR away from this. I regret reading it.
