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. 😭

erica_reads_things's review against another edition

Nope nope nope.
Horrible book. Fucked up. Clearly written by a man, the personality of the main character is cringe and annoying. 
I've been super into horror lately but this is just mindless fucked up. First DNF of my reading stint this year. No thank you.
