Might end up being 5 stars—I really loved this. I don’t know what it is about the combination of magical realism and social commentary on motherhood that’s been scratching the right itch for me but between this and Fever Dream (wildly different book but also fantastic), I’m hooked.

This must be what it means to be an animal, to look at another and say, I am so much that other thing that we are part of one another. Here is my skin. Here yours. Beneath the moon, we pile inside the warm cave, becoming one creature to save our warmth. We breathe together and dream together. This is how it has always been and how it will continue to be. We keep each other alive through an unbroken lineage of togetherness.
