sometimes, the monsters are the people we met along the way.
i feel like i hallucinated this book. like reading it was a fever dream and one i'll never fully escape from. it's like i understand everything and also nothing. if i were the protagonist of this book i would have lost my mind so immediately, and there would be no coming back.
i knew going in that this book is in the realm of unhinged but truly, i had no idea. i love it.
