Good book. The writing style is nice, but it's definitely one I had to take several breaks from reading.

This worked for me much more than Convenience Store Woman did! It’s very intense though, the first two chapters were really difficult to get through

This book was really difficult to read but hit its stride about halfway thru but then the last few pages just completely went off the rails. I don’t even know what I would rate this. Please please please read the content warnings before reading and then multiply what you are thinking could happen by A Lot.
