I can’t believe I finished this tbh. I speed read most of it out of morbid fascination. Don’t recommend. There is no plot, only dubious spice and the worst character development known to man

This was pretty different to the sort of things that I normally but I really enjoyed the story and the way the characters developed even if it was a bit darker than I expected.
