Wow, this book is a fever dream in the best way. However, it is super dark, so I would not recommend for most people. But for me, it’s in my all-time favorites. The writing is stunning, beautiful, gorgeous.

And circles keep repeating themselves again and again 
But then you realise the circles never existed....
