A disturbing novel...more so than Gone Girl. I liked how she felt the words to describe her world appear on her skin. The main character is likable and very very human

Weak ending. Did not find the main characters believable at all. Also content warning: the book takes the stance that some women who were raped "got what was coming to them." There's a related philosophy in the book that, by letting someone do something bad to you, you're really doing something to them, because they become bad from what you let them do. The writing was decent, but I did not care for the plot, characters, or themes, so yeah, not for me at all.
