2.5 stars

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I thought I would. Usually I like weird books that are a bit more than magical realism but not exactly fantasy, but this one didn’t do it for me as much as I was hoping. I liked some of the gross, odd descriptions, which is kind of what I came for, but the plot itself dragged, if you could even call it a plot. The themes of motherhood were exactly what they were expecting them to be, but there was something keeping me from being fully immersed in the story. I wanted to actually imagine a dog, and not just think “ah yes, look at this great big metaphor” the entire time. It’s a fast, easy read though if you’re intrigued.
