Gorgeous. Gothic. Got me fucked up.
Finished it and just had to hold the closed book in my arms for a minute, swaying like I’d read a love letter. And maybe it was a little bit of that. I feel like this book was made specifically and intentionally for me—that it said all the things I wanted it to and went in all the directions I didn’t even know to ask for but adored. Mariana Enriquez is incredibly tuned in that way. It’s my 2nd read from her and I could not recommend her work enough. Constantly astounded by her caliber of imagination and nuance to craft not only a uniquely macabre world but a believably paralleling one that hits all the notes and commentary it needs to in order to be as beautifully haunting and compelling as it is.

Simplemente perfecto, I loved it. 🖤
