This was a cute read! I loved So’s writing, their use of metaphor was absolutely gorgeous. I also loved the discussions of self-perception, race, and sexuality in the book. I enjoyed all the different plot threads in the book, though I felt like some were underdeveloped and could’ve been cut to dedicate more time to others. I also felt like the plot was incredibly predictable and the pacing could’ve used some work. An enjoyable dread overall.
