I loved this book. It is so complicated and intricate that I'm sure it could take years of study to analyze this work. But it was so interesting and funny and crazy that I didn't want to slow down. It moved between being clearly satirical and being so sincere that I cried a bit at the end :'( Just fantastic.
(Plus, I love to find a surprise abortion storyline in fiction!)

adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.5

i don't completely understand what this book is about but i absolutely enjoyed reading it😁🥰
this book is fun, crazy and chaotic on all levels.
at first i thought that this book would be a  sadly dramatic story about a complex family dynamics but the author scale down on the drama and put in so much humor, craziness and some sort of magic into it. generational trauma but make it apocalyptic😅
I just love it when women writes women so amazingly that no matter how unhinged or uncomprehensible the story is, i still ended up enjoying it.
