challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

This is a weird book, and parts of it really activated some body horror for me, which is pretty unusual for me. It is a deeply descriptive book, but not a lot of plot things happen.

This book felt like a surreal rollercoaster ride with a hint of pee and rotten apples. It's not my cup of tea per say, but I kept reading because I felt curious of what's gonna happen next. Needless to say, this book is hard to recommend to other people.
