3.0
While I loved the tenderness of the prose as juxtaposed with its strangeness, there is a point in open-ended mysteries when so much is left unanswered that there is very little payoff. While I enjoyed the premise and journey of this book, it felt too unfinished even if lingering questions were the goal.
Graphic: Body horror and Confinement
Moderate: Death and Death of parent
Minor: Vomit
