I have never been so intrigued by a book before, it’s quite graphic but I could not put it down. Was any of it true?? Was there ever any glass in people’s eyes???

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.

A very strange experience to read about a female protagonist who is just so incredibly unlikeable and awful! I liked it a lot, in fact, though I found parts of the book difficult to stomach. Feels odd for a written woman to be this kind of violent and self-obsessed narcissist. Not easier to read than a male character with the same vibe, but I'd say it's a more well-rounded experience.
