I can't say I liked the book because I truly didn't, which is weird because unhinged women characters is my cup of tea. But damn Irina was truly unlikable. Some parts were funny but the whole book was just an acid trip. Very much unreliable narrator which I loved. Ultimately I kept reading the book because I simply couldn't stop. I guess the story was entertaining and Irina was so crazy I wanted to see what the hell she would do next. I feel like nothing really happend, the closing of the book wasn't strong enough for me so I don't think I'll be recommending or reading this book again.

The character in general is just unlikeable, and that kinda makes me dislike the book. There's not much character development, she remains narcissistic and the way she talks about herself is "pick me" and ahhh. 

I do like the story though, it did make me want to read on (mostly in the hopes that SOMEONE would humble the protagonist) Most of my reading of this was done in a 2hr time-blindness read between midnight and 2am.

Idk why this is listed as horror because it’s not. It’s a good book, but not what I was looking for. Was mostly psychological. I found myself mostly just hating and psychoanalyzing the main character. I still don’t understand what the point of the book was. Gave it a four because it somehow managed to be interesting without having a true plot. Lots of drugs and self destruction.
