Don't get why this book was so hyped 🤷🏻‍♀️ There was no plot. The only goal was to be gross, so I guess Duncan achieved what he had set out to do, but like it just gave me nothing. Also there's a lot of typos?

That was some weird shit. A little predictable if I’m being honest. Although I didn’t guess the big twist at the end. Weird. And gross.

Had a mix of humor and horror. I had to put the book down at one chapter, which was arguably worse than the others (aside from the ending). You definitely need a strong stomach for this one, but it wasn’t as horrific as I thought (still VERY horrific, though.)
