The

But she did girlboss gatekeep gaslight an incredible amount

An incredible amount of straight sex and descriptions of fancy meals outweigh the

cannibalism and murder

This was a really fun read, however the main character is (due to her nature) someone I find intensely unlikeable. The description is fun and wild, and full of gore and torrid sex. I personally dont enjoy constant discussion of genitals outside of smut, and this book had a lot of reflections on genitalia (but this lines up well with the main character). 
I'm a vegetarian, and this book at least intrigued me with all the meat and recipe talk. Definitely made me hungry.

Took time to get used to the pretentiousness of the character but this is by no means a negative! I love cannibalism as a metaphor for love so I ate this up. My one criticism is I didn’t feel like the rape scene was necessary as quick as it was. Dorothy maybe could’ve avoided all this murder and cannibalism by dating Emma.

Really great story, lots of parts that I wanted to highlight and carry around with me in my pocket. That being said, the only thing stopping me from giving it a 4 is that the book tries really hard to keep itself as realistic as possible—ie the character saying things like “this book is true, why would I lie” and such things that when plot holes arise, no matter how minor, I’ve been asked not to suspend my disbelief, so they appear more glaring than had the book just given me the story without qualifying anything. Also, wish there were slightly more food/flavor descriptions, being a minor foodie myself. Other than that, great book, very interesting character, and I would recommend to anyone who loves horror and overall nasty bad-assery
