This is a super dark story that I loved not only because it's from and mentions my hometown but because of the twists and turns and unreliability in the narrative. You think things couldn't get any darker, any more deeper and it just does.

4.0

Grim, twisted, and brilliant. This was such an addictive read that perfectly executes an unlikeable main character that adds rather than ditracts from the story.

Irina is a truly unhinged protagonist, through whose perspective we explore themes of power, sexuality, gender and art. She is a character entirely detached from her own emotions and the impact she has on other people. We watch her slowly becoming more and more detached from reality as she takes increasingly drastic measures to provoke a response from others to prove that she has an impact. 

It shared similarities with My Year of Rest and Relaxation, but for me it felt more deliberately crafted and with more to say. I'd recommend this (with caution around triggers) to anyone wanting a gritty story that looks into power, potency and the perverted art world: a psychodynamic fever dream.
