i seriously will never shut up about this book.
i was enjoying it all the way through but

everything after Homily killed her sister

absolutely made it for me. by the time that final line happened where

homily and epilogue were like “we learned to get along while you were in hibernation because we wanted the same thing. we wanted you”

……. my guy i was already crying at the ending and when that line hit i started bawling omg. needless to say this story hit me very personally and very hard. i wouldn’t recommend it to everyone due to it being,, ngl a pretty weird story, but honestly i think the people who get it and love it will really get it, if that makes sense. <3

it just hit me that since homily’s sister is named epigraph (i think, i dont totally remember) and shesheshen’s offspring is named epilogue, and an epigraph/epilogue are the beginning/end chapters of some stories, that epigraph was homily’s beginning but not her end, and epilogue and her life with shesheshen is her end…… im crying again
