I fell down the rabbit hole on this one. Not once did I understand Cale or any of her motivations. I just held on for the ride. I love, love, love that the chapters are all out of order. It created a sense of being out of linear time and added to the weirdness (I mean that in a good way) of what Cale was going through.
Long story short it's about someone who has lost the 2 people she is closest to in the world and she has a slight chance of hunting one of them down. So she does.
This read like an indie movie from the 90's (a total compliment). The snake scene- shudder!
I never knew where the story was going or could predict what would happen next. And that made the book feel real and unique. I did pull some mental comparisons to Alice in Wonderland.
I'm still a little foggy on the ending (not the ending, ending) but the phone call to Flaca.
I predict this one will be on the TOB 2020 list.
