NOPE NOPE NOPE, DON'T LIKE THAT 

If you've been curious about this one, STAY CURIOUS. Actually don't stay curious. Stay away. Be disillusioned. 

This is vile, omg 

TW (first 25% only): necrophilia, cannibalism, cannibalism of the dead, murder, suicide, death of a family, gross (and I mean disgusting) medical negligence, substance abuse, gore, vomit, everything bad in the world. 

Do not do it. And if you do, don't say you weren't warned!

I got over halfway through it before realizing it’s all pointless. There’s really not much plot or meaning to the story. And the writing is whatever, it reads like some forum post written by a terminally online, never sees the sun incel. There’s no payoff for the reader, unless they dig sexual content described within this book. It also became painfully predictable, I just skipped to the end to confirm my suspicions, then really lost any interest I had remaining.

Note: I checked this out as an ebook, and the library I borrowed it from had 60 copies. I’m not an advocate for censoring or reducing a book’s accessibility, but it’s wild they thought a book like this warranted so many copies lol

Update: I wrote all of the above after DNFing this at 62%. Today I decided to finish it cuz I was pretty close to the end anyway. But I still stand by everything I said. It feels like gore for the sake of gore. Boring characters, meh writing, and not much of an actual story or deeper point

Writing style was horrible and it read like a high school incel’s writing assignment.

A S S.  writing style was nice, but  it was ridiculously, unnecessarily disturbing. Main character has been raised by reddit incels
