1.0
it’s a shame because the main character is a northern queer woman and I’ve never read a book set where I live before. I really thought I was gonna love this but it was so repetitive - for much of the novel irina is drinking, smoking and taking drugs, or manipulating the people around her, or both at the same time. it didn’t really feel like anything was happening, even when the narrative took a different turn.
the most interesting parts of the novel, to me, where irina’s friend flo and eddie, but they were left with no conclusion either. the hook was so captivating, so engaging, but this is where my interest ended. as a concept this novel works very well but as an actual book I just could not connect to it.

Loved the character because she was absolutely abhorrent (in a weirdly charming/attractice way?) which makes me love her haha
feel like something is missing from the book; maybe more about the character? I can’t put my finger on it.
If felt more like an unfinished draft? So close to being perfected i think.
