• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Absurd and bizarre, with unexpected depth. The descriptions of weird Internet culture, and the descriptions of a family pod experiencing shared loss and grief are both spot-on. Lockwood captures how it feels to be fully present in the bittersweet moments where you know you don't have long with someone. An absolutely unique book! Part 1 is strange and slow (which of course is by design) so stick it out to Part 2 if you're not feeling it yet.
