Bizarre, brilliant, tragic and unique. A fantastically written book but often times very literal. Very very very good (I didn’t realise just quite how heavy going this book is until I did the trigger warnings)

What the fuck did I just read. From the completely unlikable characters to this weird layer of misogyny covering the whole story, I hated all of it. Constant oversexualization of women, infantilization of them during sex, a ridiculously long lesbian rape scene evolving a minor, holy shit...
