Compelling read, but not super “sticky” - I feel like the depth isn’t there, or is too obfuscated for me to get. I did enjoy the prose, which was quite beautiful and challenging.

Idk why i thought this was YA, it is most definitely not YA. Don’t really know how to describe this book. It’s gory but sensual at the same time?? Like iv never read body horror written so beautifully. Its eco-horror meets unhinged female narrative meets magical realism ?? I feel like wattpad girlies who like magical realism would love this? Idk but it was very captivating. Disappointed it was so short cuz I have many unanswered questions & I need to know the actual plot miss author had in mind cuz my theories feel wildly incorrect. V bizzare and v surreal. 

if anyone out there has read this, were samson and olivia brother and sister or not?? 😭 were they siblings who lied to their son or were they lovers having an affair that lied to ada by saying they were siblings ??

This was a very unsettling little book, with a lot of potential. The lyrical prose detracted from the plot at times, but I really enjoyed the flow of it and the imagery that it conjured. 

 I just wish that I could have stayed with the characters longer and seen their world fleshed out some more. The huge time jump at the end was jarring and made everything after feel a bit rushed.
