This is such a bizarre book, but in a great way. It handles themes of loneliness, end of the world, love, and cults in a way that seems almost natural - these aren’t themes that the author forced into the book, they just seem to be written in because it was only natural to do so.
I didn’t like any of the sisters and in the middle of the book got a bit confused as to where the narrative was taking me, but oh wow what an ending. The last third of the book had me engrossed and now I can’t stop recommending it to everyone.
