challenging emotional sad tense fast-paced

Started off very fast, The writing is sooooo casual which tbh I enjoy as like break from other writing styles. 

Jumping between a lot of characters with no proper distinction so it had me confused for a good bit. Well had us all confused because it was a buddy read ❤️❤️

Plot picked little by little becoming more and more questionable until it reached to that ONE part that was beyond all points of abhorrence. Like girl what the fuck. …. Like what the fuck…

But the ending was like oh… lazy? A miss? Could’ve actually done so much with it? But it was giving “i woke up and it was all just a dream” 

I suppose he learned from it and gave a real ending with the sluts but if you’re gonna write this shit might as well keep going until the very end. 

This book is definitely not for everyone like it truly is for deranged girlypops 🫡

this book opens with an epigraph about language and that guided the rest of my reading. language and the body inextricably tied together etc etc

hard to follow

it does some interesting things with narrative and time - but the explicit is especially vile

jesus christ!
challenging dark reflective

 "His feelings, thoughts, etc., were the work of people around him. Men particularly. The first made a weirdly detached person out of his body and mind when he was thirteen or something. The next man corrected his predecessor's mistakes."
