Heady, literary fiction isn’t my cup of tea usually. But this one has pictures so I thought, why not? And I’m glad I did because it was good. It was strange and weird in a good way. Very unique. The author is an excellent storyteller. I enjoyed it. I think knowing who was talking when would’ve helped me a lot. I had to go back and reread parts bc I couldn’t tell who was talking. Overall it was good, I can see why it won its awards.
