I feel like I definitely would have liked this one better if I had read the physical book rather than listening to it on audio. It's a book that you're meant to immerse yourself in; I don't recommend trying to listen while multitasking.
It is definitely unique, and I enjoyed Luiselli's writing style.
2.5 rounded down, to take with a grain of salt as I'm not keen on very framented stories with multiple narrators.
Fragmented and dreamlike. At times the writing was truly beautiful but mostly I felt it was trying to make me feel not smart enough to get it, maybe it's right, maybe I'm not smart enough to get it but with the causal fatphobia at the beginning I'm not so sure. Honestly considering how strong this book started I feel it's more likely that it ran out of steam early.
