Poignant apocalyptic hopepunk, with a trash eating hybrid girl, a girl with ties to her community that makes it hard to leave, and queer sapphic rep.
Once again Rivers Solomon brings in mushrooms/fungus and autistic characters (Solomon is upfront about being autistic)
"Enid nods but doesn’t speak. When she leaves, is this all she’ll remember of me? The girl whose mouth was a fucking geyser. The girl who fidgets. The girl who talks and talks and talks to silence the voices, the images."
