i very much enjoyed reading this. it was my first melissa broder, and i will definitely be reading more of her books. the book wasn’t as weird as it could be (read reviews saying that it was a weird girl book and i was expecting it to be weirder), but i did enjoy the magical realist and surrealist elements.
