There's a lot of friend group drama going on throughout this book with a lot of dark/serious themes.
I feel like I wanted this book to be more than it was. It had the opportunity to provide strong character development and show a bisexual identity and it just didn't give me that.
Although the book only documents the events over one weekend, the ending felt unfinished and the final chapter came out of the blue with a flash back to the friends meeting for the first time.

There are very detailed descriptions of animal slaughter with the intent to eat which I wish were less graphic and sometimes I felt some aspects of the magical-realism could have been done without.
Also seemed like there were niche words shoehorned in there that the author just really wanted to use but was unsure of how to use them in a sentence?
Other than those few things, I did really enjoy this beautifully queer book and I'll miss reading it and seeing the relationships unfold.
