This book was so weird and disgusting but I couldn't stop listening to it. There wad no real sense of plot or movement really it was basically a year in lapvona. 

I don't know what I expected from the ending but it was very fitting. 

Just a weird story and I loved it

The writing is great but nope, no thank you, this book was not for me. I was not prepared. Nope. Just no. I've never bee. So uncomfortable reading a book. It was like a car crash- I wanted to put it down and dnf it multiple times but I couldn't look away from the gruesome collision of misery and *vomit noises* - again nope.
