3.0

This book was certainly not what I expected. It's almost as if there were two completely different stories from beginning to end but I didn't hate it? Super strange, not as horror gory as I was expecting from it being on those sort of lists and recommendations. I enjoyed thinking about and reflecting on the themes of societies expectations of women and our bodies, our relationships with men, homophoia, etc.
