I appreciated the anecdotal format, I feel it pushed the narrative forward and fast tracked the character development. Eric LaRoca is great at keeping you guessing, whilst simultaneously telling you exactly what’s occurred. This was a dark but fun, queer novella that I would recommend to only a select few; only the worthy.

Literally only writing a review of this book to say DO NOT READ THIS. It’s terrible awful vile and disgusting I would not recommend this to anyone just save yourself and don’t even go near it. Don’t even look this books way it’s not worth it.
