This book is either brilliant or so self-aware that it’s cringey - it’s straddling that line, but honestly I enjoyed it so I’m going to err on the side of brilliant. Philosophy is absolutely not my wheelhouse so some of the concepts explored throughout each chapter went right over my head. But other parts really stretched my brain and led to some interesting debates with my partner (specifically the Ship of Theseus chapter!). It starts off fairly tame, a young lesbian couple stand on the cusp of a new and terrifying phase of their relationship - having a baby. Their decision is finalised one night when an ant enters Eliza’s eye. From there, things get weird and I like it. There’s alternate timelines, space exploration, doppelgangers, alt-versions, really mind-bending stuff some of it. The chapter narrated by the ant in Eliza’s eye was incredible, made me squirm and feel a bit emotional. I definitely think it’s a bit heavy handed at times, but on the whole, a good book.
