This took me forever to read because it is a VERY challenging book. All the names and places and titles were completely new to me and it takes place in a constant haze and high from mushrooms, BUT it was unlike any book I’ve ever read and it REALLY worked its way into my brain. I think about it all the time lol. But definitely challenging, not sure if I would recommend it as a “fun” read but I’m SO glad I read it.
