Mostly Dead Things by Kristen Arnett

5.0

quality of writing: 10/10 enjoyment: 10/10 pc: 356 a lesbian taxidermist struggles to keep her family and the family business afloat after her dad kills himself. funny, morbid, weird and very gay, this book transported me to the narrators hot, sweaty, sticky florida town with flashbacks to her childhood and her love triangle with her best friend and her brother and the ripple effect it left on both their lives. this book talks about how you can know everything about someone while knowing absolutely nothing at all, and the crazy realization that your parents are just as complex as you. i love love loved this book. highly recommend. tw for taxidermy descriptions (obvi)
