It’s an interesting read for sure. I had no trouble engaging with it, and I found the darkness and humour I was expecting in parts. For me, it feels like it’s missing something to really pull it together. The ending was disappointing. Though it is a fun and eerie read.

UGH THIS BOOK <333

it was such a weird little book. cultish, late stage capitalism (a cult in itself), unlovable/unreliable/unstable MC. incredible. 

mainly vibes over plot but still it was an amazing little book.
