Honestly, I hate giving books bad reviews because I respect the authors but this one just wasn’t it. You have to look past plenty of grammatical, punctual, and plot holes for this book to make sense. I predicted most of the ending…which okay, that’s no biggie, sometimes that happens… but unfortunately, this was just all over the place. This is my first Octavia Grant book and I just don’t think this author is for me…at least right now. The whole book was just basically telling and no showing. 

If you’re looking for something quick and perhaps entertaining and unhinged, then by all means, choose this. But if any of the things I mentioned above bother you, maybe try something else.
