Not entirely sure how to sum up this book. It was an interesting read, and i think the writing was very well done, but the ending left a lot of loose ends that i think could have been explored more. 

The final chapter was especially disturbing to me, and there were many scenes that made me feel very icky, so this certainly isn’t a book for the faint hearted and definitely check trigger warnings before picking this up because it gets very heavy very quickly.

Holy god damn shit… holy fucking hell

What a hard story to consume, so depraved and so realistic. The amount of times I’ve gasped, and stared at the wall mid read is countless. 

The writing is sooo unique. The breaking of the fourth wall and the quick changes between past and present is done so well that it wasn’t lost on me at all. And that in itself is such a feat. I enjoyed that.

Can’t say I enjoyed the secondary characters storyline so much although she was there to serve some purpose.

The ending scene, the final ending scene had me so gagged and shocked I’m gonna be thinking about that for like… forever.

I was not a fan, felt it went way too far into a very taboo topic.
