dark
do you ever read a book that is just deeply not your thing, but you have to lead a book club about it for work, so you drag yourself through it kinda just waiting for a legit excuse to dislike it, and then you come across a predatory bisexual character and think "ok, this works as a focus for my frustrations"?
yeah

This made me laugh. It made me angry. It was gut wrenchingly real and portrayed guilt and addiction in a way that left me speechless. Twisty turny, gruesome, and so so heartbreaking, this book gets a solid 5 from me.
