5.0

Someone recommended this book because they found it “weird.” And if there’s something that’s becoming glaringly clear…weird is right up my alley. 

After the disappointing experience I had with You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty, I was afraid of reading another Emezi book. But this, THIS is a fave.
