This book hooked me in, I was transported into the pages. It gave me Alice in Wonderland vibes at times and I absolutely loved it. I also buddy read with a friend and that made it so much more fun too. We were reading two chapters a day and a lot of times those two chapters were my favorite part of the day and being transported into the story, and I couldn’t wait to read the next two chapters! 
   This isn’t a genre I often read but I’m so glad I read this one. I am easily confused, and there were a few things I was sort of confused about but for the most part I understood. It’s a whimsical story meant to have you scratching your head most of the time anyway though. 
   Loved it!
