Holy fuck. I can’t even explain what happened I just know it did and I am shaken.
This is a horrible, terrible book that I loved reading.
It’ is also the kind of book where if you were to stop at a random page nothing is happening, but when something is happening you want it to stop happening, and even when nothing is happening the way Enriquez writes she makes you feel everything that’s happening outside of the page.
The ending was both satisfying and horribly unsatisfying. I can’t get my thoughts straight just yet but wow wow wow.
