Hazy and foreboding, as uncomfortable as a sticky summer afternoon, and won't take much longer than that to finish. I let the bath go cold because I didn't want to put it down.

it’s hard to give this what I’d think is an accurate star rating. i definitely can’t say i enjoyed it but i see what sarah moss was doing and she did it quite effectively. she’s inhabited a domestic abuse victim’s mind very well and it’s extremely disturbing.
