This book achieves a steady balance of gorgeously grotesque surrealism along side a grounded perspective. While I wouldn't describe the book as overtly 'funny', the frankness of the main character's narration has a sort of 'Fleabag-esque' quality to it; approaching it's dark and twisted plot with humour. The writing style was throughly engaging and I found myself siding with Amanda and even at times, with her demon.
