This is a very curious book. At first I had trouble connecting to it but now it has become an almost meditative experience to read it. Even though Singh deals with heavy topics, her prose is calming in a very interesting way. I can't handle more than a few stories a day though.

WOW

Very interesting but very dense and technical. This is going to be a slow one

So far, its a bit weird. On the spectrum of dark fiction to horror, I would place this close to the center or on the dark fiction end. It isn't really scaring me that much yet.

WOW this is so good so far even at 12%. STUNNING

People were like Kim is sus af and I was like I'm sure it's not that obvious but damn this boy SUS AF.

I'm only 1/8 of the book in and this book is already singlehandedly the ~messiest~ shit I've read this year. Loving it but wow.

This book is like an earworm. I'm not sure I'm 100% sold/in love with the universe but I can't stop thinking about it.
