this book gave me visceral reactions like i was so uncomfortable the entire time. not to mention the gory and disturbing images described throughout the entirety of the book. it was a challenging book, and as a young adult, this definitely cleared up the types of books that i’m interested in (and i can guarantee i will never read something like this ever again). this book has definitely earned its reputation, i would take your mental state into consideration and i would recommend knowing what your limits are before opening this one. also, the book just like… wasn’t good? lmfao
