Man, that was quite a novel. I usually like recommending books to people as soon as I finish them, but I'm going to need to be REALLY careful about who I recommend this to.

Read the content warnings! The cover and quote on the front make this out to be lighthearted, but it gets dark fast. By the end you’ll be sitting in silence thinking about what you’ve just read.

I didn’t go into this book knowing how grotesque it was, but I liked the commentary on societal pressures and norms as well as the extreme escapism. Super fucked up. 5 stars.
