I am not sure how to feel about this book XD
It's dark, explicit. There's a lot of gory details, masochism. The characters are unreliable, manipulative and gaslighting. But there are somethings I liked about the book. The way the FMC'S sexual desires and her sexualizing gaze is not glossed over by the author, almost like a role reversal, where it was mostly men's gaze and desire for women. I also liked how the author did not give them (the characters) a sudden realisation and pull them out of their downward spiral. 
Overall, I believe that is a very realistic work (except for some parts).

I really enjoyed this book! I'm personally a big fan of stories about terrible people constantly stumbling against one another, and that what this book is. Irina is a complicated person, but she is also an Awful person and the first chapter of this book does a very very good job at situating it and making it clear. It is a very uncomfortable read though, and I would definitely take a look at the content warnings before picking this book up. 

Also, and this might be a bit pejorative but I genuinely think it's well executed and a very good take on the ideas and how their adapted to suit this story, but it's like if the movie American Psycho was about a lower middle class English queer woman kink artist.
