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.
