This was a weird one, and I say that with so much love.
I can appreciate that the at times surreal and erratic story structure might not be for everyone but it was 100% for me. I like that it left me with questions, left me thinking about the little threads that were not all neatly tied up at the end. I like that Evie is deeply flawed, and unlikeable. I enjoyed the disjointed inclusions of locations and plot points that feel like they evolve out of nowhere.
The prose itself was well executed, the characters dynamic, and the setting so very surreal.
Not sure who I would recommend this to at the end of the day, but if any of the things I've said appeal to you at all I think its worth taking a look.
