3.5

I’ve read a lot of dark weird books but this one has gotta be up there as one of the most consistently intense and head spinning books I’ve ever read. Probs not helpful for my mental health but a refreshing, challenging book. I doubt I’ll ever forget it

3.0

I just finished this book and I 100% find it weird.

The book was not bad... just weird.

The husbands/man were... disgusting.

I think the book is more than what it says is almost a critic to society in itself. But it's so weird that I could not see anything else.

And... the amount of trigger warnings this has... is absurd!!
