It’s not as much like American Psycho as you might expect based on the blurb, but there are similarities. Maeve’s a lot more…sympathetic (I don’t want to say likeable haha) than Patrick Bateman, but they certainly have more than a few things in common.

I wish it was just a bit longer because it wraps up so fast (like unbelievably fast) and the ending feels unresolved, but I assume that was intentional.

It name checks Patrick Bateman in the description so just bear that in mind. Was American Psycho too much for you? Maybe skip this too. There’s not just sexual content but, like, weird sex stuff and there’s no tag for that so I’m telling you here.

There’s this whole thing with eggs that I don’t know how to explain. Or want to explain. Idk man.

3.0

The twist with the dolls was unexpected and that was fun, but otherwise a lot of the plot felt like shallow shock value. There wasn't much substance and perhaps I missed it but it felt like there was some social commentary that either didn't actually exist or completely went over my head. Still, it was fun for the most part, but not what I had expected from the praise.

Hey, quick question— what the fuck was this?

Oddly enough, I did kind of like it though. Not the gross shit but the overall story I suppose. The ending made me a little sad for Maeve but I didn’t really expect a happy ending for her. Definitely not a book for everyone, I don’t think there’s anyone I would ever recommend it to. But I am interested in reading something from this author again!
