4.5

I perfectly understand what this book is about but also have zero idea. 
It’s beautiful, it’s dark, it fucking weird. And it was utterly amazing. This is the kind of book that should be in high school English classes. 

Add-on as of 7/3: I have not been able to stop thinking about this book. I like it more and more as it marinates in my brain.
