This fever dream of a book has been living in my head rent free since I finished it. It’s bizarre, disturbing, and intense. You will not like any of the characters so if that’s important to you, don’t pick this up. Not a lot is said directly in this, but I think that’s what makes it feel more disturbing as you have to imagine a lot of what is happening. I highly recommend going back and re-reading the second chapter once you finish. There’s a lot to get out of seeing the start of the memory again after finishing it..
