1.5

1.5 bc I definitely didn’t like it but I’m also not sure I hated it? Like I can’t tell if it wasn’t good or just not my jam? Some of the underlying commentary was interesting but it often felt like the book was edgy for the sake of being edgy

4.5

This book was INSANE. It had like almost every content warning under the sun, and was very difficult to read at times. At the same time, it was really engaging. It was like I kept waiting for something horrific to happen, and then it did, but not in the way I expected. The characterization of the main character was very solid and it developed quite organically throughout the book. I also liked how the main character is objectively the worst person you've ever met and I personally was never rooting for her, but that didn't make me want to stop reading altogether.

Main character (MC) mentions having 2 abortions. MC is a photographer who often assaults her subjects (sexually and physically) and takes photos/videos of them during/after. She also gaslights them and her friends when they express they were uncomfortable. MC mentions accidentally killing a subject, and the process of discarding the body. MC was in a sexual relationship with her teacher while in high school (pedophilia). MC mentions self-harm scars on her hips and how she got them. MC does drugs by herself and with friends throughout the novel, also drinks excessively, and talks about binging her food after eating carbs.

Clark has written a dark and twisted character, one in which you get lost in her psyche. She lives in a rampant self destructive world and has never lived any differently. An unreliable narrator only told different through photographs, is the story shes telling us true?
An excellently written dark mystery, funny in places too. Will need to read again with a different perspective.
