I can’t describe how I feel about the book. Sometimes I enjoyed it, other times the descriptions made me have to walk away and come back later. Good imagery, diverse characters, but made me feel gross. I guess that’s the point, though. Not something I will recommend to everyone, it’s definitely an acquired taste (no pun intended)
