Just finished this surreal coming-of-age fantasy—part memoir, part dream, and somehow, it works?

I just finished Nowhere Girl by AL, and it’s one of the weirdest books I’ve read this year. It’s part memoir, part fantasy, part existential deep-dive. It jumps from real-life cultural struggles to a surreal journey on another planet, which sounds bizarre—but somehow, it works?

I’d love to hear thoughts from others who’ve read it. If you like books that mix reality with dreamlike elements (Invisible Cities, The Midnight Library), you might enjoy this too.
