1.0
Was lured in with promises of a cult leader aboard a cruise ship; dark, surreal satire, humour and a stunning book cover.
Instead a wholly unlikeable set of characters, bizarre sets of events, and very little explanation.

it was such a weird little book. cultish, late stage capitalism (a cult in itself), unlovable/unreliable/unstable MC. incredible.
mainly vibes over plot but still it was an amazing little book.
