Beautifully written language and great themes. It’s missing one star because I think I personally just don’t like fever-dream-like books too much. I think the drastic actions aren’t as enjoyable to me to warrant a 5/5 star, but it’s still a wonderful book.


Note to self: I read a third of the book then switched to only audiobook.
