Wow, a Printz winner for a reason. Felt like the exact right amount of surrealism here to get her points across but not be overly didactic. Metaphorical and twisty and smart and emotional, a meditation on a family's original sins and how they pass from one generation to the next, with the current generation finally working to make changes together. This will probably be in my top 5 reads this year.
It was going really well until the climax and then it was like the author stopped caring? The last few chapters are like early drafts or notes for a scene yet to be written. Ruined the book for me.
It took me a day or so to get into the flow of reading this due to how it's written but I ended up enjoying it overall. A.S. King has a strong and sure writing technique that once I got it down it made all the themes and messages of what they were writing come together.
I think this would be a better read if I had a physical copy compared to an audiobook
