I loved that this book doesn’t follow a typical story structure- its unpredictable, yet the ending was still satisfying. The characters were tragic and moving, the world was thoroughly thought out. As strange a concept as it was, and as uncomfortable the explorations of human sexuality might have made me, this book was fantastically crafted.
