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!)

i love melissa lozada-oliva y'all!!! i wish i could just PEEK inside her brain... and then run away quickly because idk how she thinks of this shit (but i'm not sure i really want to know). this was so weird, and i loved it. it's about family and sisterhood and relationships and understanding yourself!!! but it's also about zombies and cults and cannibalism. who could want more?

also the girlies who love mona awad need to get on their MLO shit becauseeee it's so good
