I was so naïve thinking that it couldn’t get any more insane.

I really appreciate how Koja never bothers with scenes that don’t matter. Scene transitions aren’t a thing. It’s all free flowing stream of consciousness from the narrators brain. It’s a mad poetry scrawl. It puts me into a crazy trance and it’s freaky because I just feel so inside the head of this absolutely insane person that the author has crafted peice by piece.

Mom please come pick me up I’m scared

The thing I thought was going to happen at the end of the book happened in chapter 2 so now I have no freaking clue what’s going to happen ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dude where does she even come up with this stuff? It’s so twisted.

So excited to read this. Bad Brains was one of the best books I’ve ever read so it’s got big shoes to fill but I’m excited to see if Koja can blow my mind a second time.
