Gross, raw and queer asf. Literally one of the best pieces of literature I've ever come across solid 5 stars. (I'm quite critical with 5 star ratings)

FUCKKK I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. i literally have never read anything like this. so moshfeghian but if moshfegh wrote with love and wasn’t afraid of actually making her characters gay. the imagery was so whimsical and dreamlike and pulled me in like no other writing has ever done. i felt like i was in a trance. this is exactly what liking a girl for the first time feels like. a new favorite i fear! it has weird gross lesbians and references slowdive and björk how could i not love it??? so good that i don’t even care that the author most definitely has a piss kink.
