This was one of those stories where, upon finishing, you can’t help but wonder if it needed to be told. 

It’s a story of a bunch of codependent middle-aged white people who secretly hate each other, and then one ends up being particularly evil (read the trigger warnings I guess but also the synopsis didn’t really prepare me at all)

Additionally, the writing went from incomprehensible (I found myself needing to reread constantly) to hauntingly beautiful one-liners, which were the saving grace of the book

I've never bothered typing out a review on this app. But this book deserves a review. Don't bother reading this book. Absolutely pretentious, way too many similes, and everyone in this book are the absolute worst. The synopsis does not prepare you for the extremely triggering content. I wish I could unread this book.
