I wanted so badly to like this book. Surreal queer coming of age nostalgia with a side of mental illness is basically my thing.
This is kind of a genre mash up mess. There are glimpses of what could have been a good (and deeper) exploration of Margaret's sexually, gender identity, and eating disorder but all of it is overshadowed by the fantastical elements the author throws in. They don't help the reader understand Margaret more and the whole thing feels like it would have been better served with a more focused scope.
