Bye it was so fun. Miss Silvia really a comedian ajksdkds. I keep laughing for no reason, even in parts that I knew was meant to be horrific, idk man the vibe was just fun. I think this book could be in that "good for her" category. Super creative story and atmosphere, it was really easy to fall for the characters and appreciate their antics. There was also just a lot of themes/topics explored: autonomy of self, keeping up appearances, familial ties, and eugenics! All of these were touched on well and did not feel forced. 

I wish I could give 5 stars because I literally love everything about it except: the actual movement of the plot and the "horror" factor. I wanted there to be even more creepy moments and to feel more shock. Nevertheless, Francis is my pookie.
