2.5

Tough to rate this one. There were some beautiful passages and insightful bits but ultimately it just disappointed me. I liked the first half but then it just stagnates in this really cynical place. I wanted more development for Lucy.

and they didn't have to do that to the dog

Four stars for the last chapter.

My god this book was a wild fucking ride. I love an unlikable protagonist so I didn’t hate it, but she’s the worst. It’s a really good depiction of how an addiction to anything, really, can control your life and that you have to want to be better in order to be better.

That ending was wild.

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

i was disgusted in so many ways (other than the obvious ones), weirded out and then surprisingly left floored by the ending of this book... that is why i cannot give this book a rating for the life of me bc i have no idea how i feel about it, but it was an EXPERIENCE nontheless

The whole dog part ruined this for me personally, other than that I thought it was funny and interesting. Oh and you have to read like half the book to finally get to the merman. Would still recommend if you like weird books.
