The premise is compelling, but this book reads like a first draft concerned more with shock value than good story telling.

3.0

This book just gave me a lot of bad feelings. The main character, Irina, is awful to everyone. Her evil behavior and the way people excuse it are kind of the points of the book, but it still makes it upsetting to read because it’s just impossible to root for her. She doesn’t grow much throughout the book. But it’s still a very interesting book and it goes by fast. I wish it had gone into more depth about the male gaze in her work- because I don’t see how photographing men being sexualized the way women are could be liberating and would like more perspective. Majorrrrr trigger warnings.
