3.5

A disturbing examination of art, sex and the darkest parts of human nature, through the lens of a deeply unreliable, and detestable, narrator. The writing wasn't always the best, and despite the book's relatively short length there was at times a feeling of aimlessness and shock over story, but I was very invested in where Irina's story went and her continued delusion. Bonus points for great LGBT representation and an unsaturated, brutal exploration of queer themes as well as the disturbing fetish culture Irina is part of.

Less of a femcel book, and more of a critique on femcel books. Kind of a female american psycho

Holy shitttt, I fucking love this book. I found this book so fucking interesting and I could barely put it down. I highly recommend this but I would look up the content warning first. 

Ok, it has been a few days since I read it. It is maybe not as good as I originally thought. I still liked it but there are a lot of weird things in this book.

had this one as an ebook library hold, realized i'd checked it out for a week and only had a week left to read it and went "ok i'll start it" and finished it in a day

incredibly compelling and deeply unsettling and upsetting book. truly could not put it down. not sure if i would recommend it to anyone and absolutely cannot give it a star rating because i think i both liked and hated it but it really got to me. 

irina reading her friend's "secret" blog where she talks about her is like........ oh girl. i get you. i truly get you. stop doing that but also i literally get you.

anyway. really great use of unreliable narrator
