This was a really fun read, however the main character is (due to her nature) someone I find intensely unlikeable. The description is fun and wild, and full of gore and torrid sex. I personally dont enjoy constant discussion of genitals outside of smut, and this book had a lot of reflections on genitalia (but this lines up well with the main character). 
I'm a vegetarian, and this book at least intrigued me with all the meat and recipe talk. Definitely made me hungry.

Took time to get used to the pretentiousness of the character but this is by no means a negative! I love cannibalism as a metaphor for love so I ate this up. My one criticism is I didn’t feel like the rape scene was necessary as quick as it was. Dorothy maybe could’ve avoided all this murder and cannibalism by dating Emma.
