I really enjoyed this book! I'm personally a big fan of stories about terrible people constantly stumbling against one another, and that what this book is. Irina is a complicated person, but she is also an Awful person and the first chapter of this book does a very very good job at situating it and making it clear. It is a very uncomfortable read though, and I would definitely take a look at the content warnings before picking this book up. 

Also, and this might be a bit pejorative but I genuinely think it's well executed and a very good take on the ideas and how their adapted to suit this story, but it's like if the movie American Psycho was about a lower middle class English queer woman kink artist.

gothicteletubby's review against another edition

Hated the main character, she was fatphobic, treated her "friend" so cruelly for no reason, and took erotic photos of a 16 yo and just didn't give two shits. I don't care about her or her stupid photos.

Also, this book is so goddamn british, normally I could just ignore it and move on, but the writing reminds you every two pages.

Holy shitttt, I fucking love this book. I found this book so fucking interesting and I could barely put it down. I highly recommend this but I would look up the content warning first. 

Ok, it has been a few days since I read it. It is maybe not as good as I originally thought. I still liked it but there are a lot of weird things in this book.
