I really didn’t enjoy how much the main character focused on food, her eating disorder, and not eating when this was in no way related to the plot. It might have shaped the character but this was all she talked about, there wasn’t much else to Irina.
The contact sexual assault and rape in this book were trying to be nuanced but just fell so flat for me. It seemed like the author was just writing off these things as “it happens” and nothing comes of it when a victim speaks out.
Overall, there’s more to say but I would not recommend this book!

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!
