DNF after 100 pages. This book was not for me. I know that there are going to be people out there who love this surrealistic writing style, but I am just not one of them. I was recommended this by someone who said it was magical realism. THIS BOOK IS NOT MAGICAL REALISM.

I couldn't connect to any of the characters. They all sounded exactly the same to me. I kept having to look back and see whose chapter we were in. They each had their own quirks, but aside from that, they all had pretty much identical voices.

I was curious to see in the end what was going on with the bomb threats, but as it continued I became less and less curious.

I do think there is potentially triggering material in this book dealing with

sexual assault, school violence, and possibly suicidal tendencies. It doesn't come right out and say it (at least, not at the point I read to) but quite a bit of the language suggest that at least one of the characters is suicidal.

I don't know if A.S. King is the author for me. She's definitely not if all of her books are in this same genre. It just doesn't mesh well with me. For that reason, I am not rating this book.
