Wow! At no point in this story did I know where it was going. This book is honestly sickening and dizzying, the writing is poetic and the way the real world and the dream world come together is fantastic and catastrophic. I do wish that Catalina’s relationship with Noemi was a little bit more build out but honestly, not super important. I would love to see this as a movie, it slow to start and very fast paced at the end and not for the faint of heart. This is probably the first horror book I have read that I enjoyed! This is not a book that will leave you feeling happy at the end, it’s deeply deeply disturbing
