Fantastic! Such a whimsical and funny story with a great set up and I love how it progresses. Not only can you not ever predict where the story is going next I never felt the need to and just let the story take me on a ride. There were a handful of lines that made me a bit uncomfortable specifically in regards to race and how it was talked about, after reflection on the book I don't think anything was actually racist but some things felt wrong to me. One of the best things I've read this year for sure though highly recommend!
