The final chapter was especially disturbing to me, and there were many scenes that made me feel very icky, so this certainly isn’t a book for the faint hearted and definitely check trigger warnings before picking this up because it gets very heavy very quickly.

It was fine. Nothing more, nothing less. If you're not a frequent reader of splatter punk or extreme horror there are a few passages that may turn your stomach. But ultimately there's nothing out of the ordinary.
I feel like a lot of extreme horror deals with pedophilia, incest, etc. and The End of Alice is no different.
It feels like ultimately this was a disturbing short story or blog post that got fleshed out into a novel, but upon completion a lot of the story feels unnecessary.
It's probably worth a read, especially considering it's less than 300 pages and can be finished in a day or two, but you really wouldn't be missing out if you skipped it.

What a hard story to consume, so depraved and so realistic. The amount of times I’ve gasped, and stared at the wall mid read is countless.
The writing is sooo unique. The breaking of the fourth wall and the quick changes between past and present is done so well that it wasn’t lost on me at all. And that in itself is such a feat. I enjoyed that.
Can’t say I enjoyed the secondary characters storyline so much although she was there to serve some purpose.
