I enjoyed this book and all it's weirdness. The writing style is both very beautifully and extremely visceral and bodily. There's tons of detail about bodily waste and sexuality and girlhood and doghood. This is a bit of a weird one, and it's very much focused on vibes and emotions and atmosphere rather than a clear-cut plot. I personally loved the examination of these really intense girlhood friendships, as well as storytelling and ancestry. This book was full of striking imagery and mythos, with such a deep look into the lives of these women. It took me a little bit to get into the very rich, descriptive style of writing, but once I was into it, I was so drawn into the various stories weaving together. There were a few places that I felt a bit bogged down in the detail, but it didn't dampen my reading experience too much overall.
