This book was fast-paced and kept me guessing and wondering. I really enjoyed the format, which felt like reading a jump-cut stream of consciousness. Enid is an interesting, layered, complex character and a very good unreliable narrator. I felt very seen by her dealings with feeling like a parasite and a bad person. After reading this, I would definitely give other books by Emily Austin a shot. Check the content warnings!!
