What a lovely, strange book! I'm writing this review just after I've finished the last page, and I'm still trying to grasp on what I feel about this. It was hilarious, brutal, and confusing all at once. The book, I think, is if you put an entire mishmash of amusement parks and stuff it in there. The last few chapters really clarified everything but it was still undoubtedly strange. That's not to say it wasn't great, in fact, I think it's so fun and such a wild ride that you'll want to keep turning the page every second. Loved all the characters, loved the wacky plot, a truly original book imo.

If you're looking to read this book, take note of the content warnings first, but otherwise really just dive in!
