A review by mariguz
State of Paradise by Laura van den Berg

mysterious medium-paced

4.75

bonkers. beautiful. tore pieces of the world and pinned them to the page. surreal. i think i loved it. it made no sense. it made so much sense. like a fever dream. the writing was incredible, both on a sentence and character level. i never knew where i was going. i guess i went Where I Needed To Be. it captured so much in just 200 pages. 

it was weird in a way i loved, but it also crept around behind me like something terrifying and crouching that i was afraid to look at.
