You can find my whole review here:
I give this book 5/5 stars. I loved how this book stuck with me and how as soon as I put it down I was texting my sister making plans to listen to the audiobook. The characters, while some were actual historical figures, were well written and surprising. This book was a reflection on the meaning of life, told via grotesque horror-comedy. This book made my heart ache and my brain think and I’m really not sure what else you can ask for out of a book. This book changed me. In my day to day life I usually can’t stop telling people to read a book after I finish it and feel this way about it, but I am picking and choosing who I recommend this to because I am just not sure everyone likes a dark horror comedy and is open minded enough to just sit down, read it, and let it affect them. If you think you are, or can be, then I highly recommend this book. Trust me, this review is not doing it justice.
