This book BLEW MY MIND. I actually am having trouble figuring out how to write a review without 1) spoiling and 2) not making sense. Okorafor wrote the heck out of this book. It's confusing and convoluted while being so immersive that you just keep going. It says things about ableism and disability that I think will challenge people's thinking around accessibility and choice. It is a fun ride with a lot of twists and turns and messy family that will make you scream. And the end? I am still speechless. This is a must read.
