This is probably one of the most depraved and bizarre books I've ever read, which is definitely saying something. I feel like I could've used more background as to how the events that happened in Maeve's life or thoughts she had led her to doing certain actions in the book, because a lot of the actions she did just seemed so off the rails that I couldn't see any human reasoning behind it anymore. It kind of felt like the things she did were just like trying to get a reaction out of the reader rather than being authentic character development. However, this was still overall a really interesting/enjoyable read (though very dark and depraved).

Wow, what a wild ride. Predicted the ending, but it still had its fun twists and turns.

It has more debauchery than spice. You have been warned.

It is very graphic and not for the faint of heart or young readers!

Could recommend to horror fans and my fellow weird lit girls.

not much else to add that others haven't said about how cringy this is. except as someone with an interest in wolves, the 'big bad wolf' (vs sheeple) shit is IRRITATING.

the tar pits scene is to me what the american psycho reference was to others

and the drops of 'quote worthy' feminist takes are very shallow once you think about them for more than three seconds. the struggle Maeve has with being perceived as a victim could've been interesting if actually explored but the book is too concerned with its shitty thesis statement to do anything remotely interesting there. also racist susan situation could've been better executed/explored or just not at all. ehhhhhhhh that whole part of Maeve's character is underutilized imo. gore and gross out factors are pretty lackluster but thats obv very subjective.

johnny Depp rpf sex was the last straw tho

quite a bit of sexual harassment and violence (mixed in between consensual sex) for those unaware.
