Afraid to say that this one was rough for me. I love and adore her so so much but this story didn’t do it for me. I’m so annoyed but she’s still fantastic.

I love Melissa Broder and will continue to read/buy anything she puts out. However, I am extremely hit or miss when it comes to smut in books and unfortunately this one is just not working for me.

Four stars for the last chapter. 

My god this book was a wild fucking ride. I love an unlikable protagonist so I didn’t hate it, but she’s the worst. It’s a really good depiction of how an addiction to anything, really, can control your life and that you have to want to be better in order to be better. 

That ending was wild.

i liked how it started off. the first paragraph already reminded me why i like this author after having read Milk Fed. 

i expected it to be more about the relationship of MC and the merman. it was interesting but i started wanting it to be over towards the end.

Really bad in my opinion. Bad writing, bad story, bad characters. The main character Lucy is a really bad person and the rest of the story doesn't redeem that. The disgusting details of her life weren't funny to me so I did not enjoy reading any of the book. Many parts were absurd and the dialogue was simple so ut was quite easy and quick to read.
