Felt this was going nowhere and I felt that the title is a "click bait" nothing out of normal here.

This book…. I wish I didn’t read it, it was such a snooze. It was just a girl ranting, about who knows what? Maybe I didn’t understand it but, i just didn’t think it was good.

“I won’t be able to write this, but I’ll try. I want writing that can summon death, that can summon the disintegration of human tissue. The tissue melts in a chemical, or a magical, or alchemical reaction. I don’t desire total freedom, or total misanthropy. Do you get that? I desire magic, the same alchemical reaction that transforms hatred to a new or strange form of love.”

I really really enjoyed this book. Super unique novel/interrogative monologue.  It’s hard to classify it as a specific sort of writing, and attempting to do so almost feels disingenuous to everything that it captures.
