very big trauma dump book, so prepare for a lot of content warnings. well-written. gets pretty uncomfortable and way more intense later on, but i honestly couldn’t stop reading it?? which seems to be a thing other people have said.

When yearning turns into toxic obsession and psychotic breaks, absolutely chilling and made my chest physically hurt in some parts. An incredible, dark ride

I don't know if I could rate this book, let alone say I 'liked' it. I read it in one go and couldn't put it down but each minute of it felt like torture. I completely understand the author's note in saying she hated it. Excellent writing but I having just finished it, I do feel a bit sick.

Man… disrespectfully what the fuck did I read… 

It’s so overwhelming from start to finish like someone’s holding me underwater and I’m in this drug induced nightmare I can’t sober up from…

Everything triggering is in this book at one point you think everything’s added here for the sake of shock value…? I suppose with books like this that’s the point ? Idk??

Questionable sometimes like does this even…need to be here? Is that relevant? Girl idek I want to power wash my brain with Clorox after this.
