What I got from this book was that Irina’s overly sexual photography and her dangerous behaviour was all an analogy for how women are so often ignored in the world that they can do the most disgusting, disturbing things humanly possible, and still no one will bat an eye at them. She can quite literally admit to murder in a fully crowded restaurant, and no one even notices.
The writing in this book was so raw and disturbing, i felt sick to my stomach at times from how graphic some of the scenes were. Definitely check trigger warnings if you’re considering reading this, because it’s certainly not for everyone!

the book WAS wobbly at parts, will probably age poorly for things that are admittedly funny now but will be nigh incoherent to anyone reading this in 20 years time, and the ending is a bit of a dealbreaker for some (not me, and not after the disappointment of our wives under the sea - that WAS a stinker) but ultimately, it crafted a world that i could understand and relate to in so many ways. really special book for me.
