extremely graphic lovestory! not for the faint of heart. I did not love it, I felt it was tiring after a while. I did like how you follow the main character into his twisted mind, his obsession. but I did not really feel for him, I didn`t care for him. It was somewhat disturbing at times. The characters remained distant and unrelatable to me. But still: amazing writing. I felt like this book could have been even shorter.

I don't even know how to describe this book. The prose is absolutely stunning, incandescent... though, contrary to the back page's bold declaration, I would not call this a love story lmao 

I would advise readers to research this book thoroughly and read the content warnings beforehand as many descriptions are quite graphic and uncomfortable to read.
