Mostly Dead Things

-I don't think I can give this book a star rating yet, cause I just gotta sit with it a bit longer.- (1,5 final rating. I had to take it down cause the stance on suicide, especially in this specific case of terminal illness, is unacceptable to me. I cannot get over it.)
However, I will say that this was weird and gross and that it disturbed and unsettled me, which I love! I want what I read to make me question myself, to make me think about the limits of my comfort. I loved giggling at the absurdity, at the stupidity, at the awkwardness of human behaviour. I think the writing style/choices that didn't work for a lot of people were what made this work for me. The repetition made me feel like I was circling the drain of grief, and that felt cathartic in this setting. I couldn't put this down! The queer mess still being messy at the end warmed my heart, even though it was the writing and not the events of the ending that made this feel finished to me.
What didn't work for me however was the stance this took on suicide. That was really disturbing to me, and kind of taints everything else. It could also definitely have been 10% shorter.
