I don't know how to feel about this book. ... I found it gripping, depressing, horrifying even, and I couldn't put it down. The ending was very meh but even then....it's going to haunt me. Would I recommend it? To psychology students, maybe. It's extremely dark. The characters aren't even likable and yet you might find yourself drawn in by them anyway. It's not very fast, but the way it was written kept me intrigued. Definitely not for everyone, and be warned before you go in - bring a flashlight and plenty of batteries, it's pitch black in there.

This one was hard to rate because I really loved a lot of it…And then it went off the rails and had

this horrible weird ending that didn’t seem to fit with the whole beginning part of examining female interpersonal relationships and what can drive normal people to commit gruesome crimes. Like sexual Siam was a smaller theme earlier so I guess it’s not shocking that’s where it went, we saw it in multiple characters early on, I wasn’t expecting it to be the denouement.||
