Main character (MC) mentions having 2 abortions. MC is a photographer who often assaults her subjects (sexually and physically) and takes photos/videos of them during/after. She also gaslights them and her friends when they express they were uncomfortable. MC mentions accidentally killing a subject, and the process of discarding the body. MC was in a sexual relationship with her teacher while in high school (pedophilia). MC mentions self-harm scars on her hips and how she got them. MC does drugs by herself and with friends throughout the novel, also drinks excessively, and talks about binging her food after eating carbs.

No clue how to rate this book. I hated it but also didn’t. It was an extremely uncomfortable experience. I literally grimaced my way through it.

I’m trying not to give spoilers but I suppose there are MILD SPOILERS below. These are more notes for myself to help me work through how I feel about this book.



Eddie 💔

Bit Dolly/Emma Jane esque. Didn’t like that. Don’t appreciate that lifestyle. Main character is intolerable (but that’s the point.)

Did appreciate the flip of the usual predatory/violent/dangerous/ruthless and detached narrative.

Trauma? Mental health?

Enjoyed the did she/didn’t she?

Was impressed by what seemed like a very sudden/surprising shift about 2/3 through, which in retrospect was actually hinted at.

The use of the name, the cat and the bell (Schrödinger, much?) were clever and subtle but not too subtle.
