Trippy and unsettling just like a fever dream. A nightmare fueled fever dream actually. It was gripping from the beginning that I read it in one sitting. It is a short book after all. The setting, the characters and the writing meshed well together, loved all the strangeness and eeriness of it all but at the end, I felt there is so much left to desire from this short novel. Not that I wanted it to wrap up to make more sense, not at all. I like how ambiguous it was but I needed a bit more from it. So it was just an alright read for me.
