WAIT A MINUTE WHAT. Wtf did I just read?? And what was that ending ðŸ˜
On one hand, the art is absolutely gorgeous. Like overall, it's haunting and visually stunning.
On the other hand, there are a few confusing parts (especially the first few parts of the book). Add to the fact that this is more of a psychological horror that explores mental illness, grief, and married life—yeah it's going to get trippy.
Still this was an interesting read. Would probably make a good A24 movie 👀
Exact rating: 3.75
