Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi
5.0
A modern fairytale following three generations of Lee women and the role gingerbread has played. This book was interesting from the get-go, the description of the gingerbread was enough to get me hooked (despite not being a fan of the stuff). Oyeyemi does a fantastic job of blending the real and magical just so that cant tell if it is fantasy or not.
The "alternate universe" vibes of their home country of Druhástranian made for great reading as it felt like you were stepping in between the real world and a world of gingerbread houses. I wish I could choose a favorite quote but they are all simply too good.
Would 100% read again.
