3.0

I don't freaking know how to rate this thing because it's written well but it feels like forbidden literature. WTF WAS THAT?!!!! I had to skip a lot because I couldn't stomach the unfolding events involving babies but I couldn't stop because I kept thinking 'there has to be a point, right?!!!'

I need a day, no a year, off of whatever this is. 😭

WTF did I just read? The author tries and fails and making a main character that the reader feels bad for. Everything is for shock value and the writing isn't very good on top of it all. This is one of those books that if someone says wass something they really enjoyed, you take it as a red flag and RUN.
