5.0

Possibly the weirdest book I’ve ever read. Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it back down. Still not really sure what I just experienced, but not mad that I did. I need other people to experience this book purely so that we can share that experience. Truly a bizarre and unsettling book that also feels oddly comforting for someone who feels as though they don’t conform to society’s expectations. Will I ever be able to read it again? Probably not. Is my life permanently changed? Absolutely
