um… that was a book ;-; 
basically convenience store women but with some abuse, incest and cannibalism ;-; Some parts were good, but overall a pretty disturbing and uncomfortable read. It will definitely get your brain thinking… Definitely research this book a bit more if you are planning on reading it!

The most horrendous, vile, fucked up shit I've ever read. Nothing compares to this book. Thoroughly enjoyed it (while clasping a hand over my mouth constantly)
