What a cute lil book about found family 🥹
But for real, this book was UNHINGED. I have never read a book with this vibe and I absolutely loved it All of the characters were so perversely absurd that I just could not look away. The world and people in Lapvona are disgusting and unlikeable and yet I just wanted to keep reading about them all.
