challenging dark tense

3.0

This was disturbing and difficult to read. But outside of these moments, it was reflective and challenging in a whole new way.

The most disturbing part of this book was how believable I found it. I could see exactly how we could get to those point. The true terror of this book is the near dystopian Orwellian world we find ourselves in.

I’m lucky that I can’t really visualise as I read - if I could, I’m not sure I would have made it through some of these scenes.

Its a dark and gross telling of the struggles of a transwoman, with a flash bang of infestation and almost fever dream type description. I wasn't sure what this book what gonna be like starting it but surprisingly it was pretty good. Shock factor plays a big role in my high rating.
