Ooweee this book was phenomenal. Never quite knew where we were headed next, but deeply affected by the existential roller coaster onto which I was thrown…fell in love with these complicated characters and the surreal ways they encountered the world. A profound meditation on memory, responsibility, identity, dreams, love, and being that had me laughing, crying, cringing, and pondering. Fantastic prose & dialogue & plot, holes and all.
