4.5

Eliza Clark is a strong writer, one who will leave a mark on anyone that reads her works. She may be the best author I've come across in years. I'm giving this a 4.5 because the story itself was so horrific that I can't say I enjoyed it, merely I strongly respected the way Clark depicted the growing insanity of the main character. This book is not for the faint of heart.

5.0

Feels like a fever dream, you experience the hallucinations as she does and because she’s unreliable you don’t trust her. Heavy drug use and alcohol fuel the plot and it keeps the pages turnings at almost a dizzying speed. This book makes you feel lost in time, almost as if the world stops

A more modern, feminine American Psycho. Fascinating and leaves you haunted.
