howwwwww strannggeeeeeeeee............... in some ways i enjoyed more than convenience store woman for how it leaned into the disgustingness and absurdity of being nonhuman but also less because the characters themselves are further from humanity in this book, but the themes are quite similar!
First book that I've read in one sitting and can't believe how disturbing and traumatic this book is. I'm aware of how unsettling this book kasi sa message sa book club about putting trigger warning for others who haven't read the book yet, and now I understand why he/she said that because fuck this book consists of child sexual abuse, pedophile which i fucking hate, incest, child abuse and cannibalism. Really, i feel like my energy is gone after reading it. I can't say it's a bad book, it's just I'm so shocked about it.

This book made me SICK (complimentary)
what the FUCK why did I not read reviews before reading it?? I had absolutely no clue that the things that were in it were in it from the blurb. wow. this speaks to me a lot in terms of how trauma and vulnerability can lead to radicalisation very easily. there is so much internal logic, but very little external logic. the way it is written in this very detached, surreal way also really adds to it. generally very disturbing and therefore very well-written
