This was really great. Ojeda pushed boundaries with form but always in a way that enriched the story and pulled you deeper into the characters' warped minds. This book felt so frantic and breathless that I ended up reading it super quickly, but I can see myself going back to it someday because the characters and themes were so layered that I think it would be really rewarding to do a close reading. Just a really interesting novel and it's always so exciting to read something that feels totally unique.
