A review by abbievillehorror
Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
5.0
This book will forever be my favorite. It is magic and delirium—dreams with legs, which seem more like nightmares when you see them in the light like that. I could read this book a hundred times and find a new layer to it every one of them. There are so many things happening and so many things that could have happened, all wrapped up in Nova's beautiful, dark, enigmatic prose. Her sentence structure mirrors the imagery which mirrors the action which mirrors the atmosphere. Layer, layer, layer, layer.
Also it's a book about sisters with a bond like no other; sisters who would kill for each other, sisters who would resurrect for each other. And, like Ruby, that's my favorite kind of story: "where the boys lost and the girls won and got a souvenir in the bargain."
Also, also: the freaking balLOONS. That is my favorite motif in this novel, and possibly ever.
