Crazy-scary-sad is the perfect way to describe this book. I'm a fan of the prose - the proems. Hate bouquet. Fuck you flower. Mouth sounds.
This book defied all my initial expectations but felt quite disjointed. I wish it flowed more smoothly. I nearly lost interest halfway through when Samantha's (the MC) pity party kind of felt too much. Still, I recommend it just because Mona Awad's writing style is fun to read!

Moderate: Animal death, Blood, Body horror, and Injury/Injury detail
