This is, and I do not say this lightly, the single most terrifying book I've ever read — if only because I caught myself mid-laugh gasping in horror.

This was… memorable, to say the least, following a female psychopath through a brief period of her life. It’s kinda gross, in the way speculative horror tends to be, but interesting.

I really dont know how to feel the only bit i think i liked of this was the very end

‘My mam always used to tell me that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. And Eddie from Tesco is a fly, but he's got a taste for vinegar. It's like vinegar is all he's ever had from people, and now he doesn't even know what honey tastes like.’

‘I wonder what the fuck I have to do for people to recognise me as a threat… Do I have to smash a glass over the head of every single man I come into contact with, just so I leave a fucking mark?’

Never hated the main character/narrator so much. Wish everyone who knew her could realize how awful and toxic she was and cut her off forever.
