5.0

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this story. Is it strange? Absolutely. But every word held me captive. Days later, I'm still turning over the myths and mystery, hints slipped between fantasy and reality. The adult chapters are lush and lethal, and the adolescent chapters are whimsical and toxic. Can you remember the fantasy worlds from your childhood? When do we stop looking for magic around us, or do we ever really stop? How many fantasies did I create to cope with my reality? This book is an absolute trip, and I intend to visit again. All of the stars.
