When this book started, I loved it. It was not like anything I had ever read. A man who is lost in life runs into the most fascinating woman he has ever met, and she takes him on a series of sexual excursions, filming them. Not only is sex involved, but also pain, blood, humiliation, etc...
Then it got rather boring. They started going to political events. I'm sorry, but there's enough political hate all over social media that I prefer my fiction to not include it. And no, it's not because my side was bashed or anything. The author takes the time for his characters to explore both of the major US parties. They were brief, yet I still don't enjoy that kind of stuff.
So then there was some more boring, (a man pining over this girl..... so boring)followed by a sci fi ending, which really isn't my thing.
By the reviews, I kept waiting for the gross part to happen. There was one scene including a cat, but I've read that type of thing several times over. Maybe I'm immune to shock factor.
The story isn't bad. It just wasn't for me. I'm neutral on this one.

This book was just a mess of conspiracy, anxiety, and a whole lot of fucked up. Great writing, not great ideas. Personally, I read this book fast to get it over with. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This book helped me overcome clinical depression. Now I have a job, a bank account, and am actively looking for a wife! Thanks, Andersen Prunty!
