The Familiar, Volume 1: One Rainy Day in May by Mark Z. Danielewski

3.0

This was fun and wild throughout with all the different perspectives and meta-narrative, however, it feels like too much? Like Danielewski wanted to be edgy/crazy to one-up his first novel? Also knowing the fact that this was created to be this giant series that will only really have one season feels unfinished to me. Probably won’t read the second in the “season” unless I have a huge opportunity arise. Worth the read to at least try it out, though
