CW: alcohol/drug use, death, self harm, gun violence, pregnancy, gaslighting, infidelity, body shaming/fatphobia, eating disorder mentioned, torture, cancer mentioned, cults, religious bigotry, child abuse, blood, violence, some body horror, casual ableism, suicide mentioned.

i had a lot of fun with this one. it's funny, at times uncomfortable, and wholly entertaining. it had a couple small twists towards the end that i both wasn't expecting but thoroughly enjoyed.

If you like putting together the puzzle pieces, this is the book for you! I thought the ending was a bit rushing and lacking the narration of the rest of the book, but a satisfying end nonetheless.

First thing I will say is: TRIGGER WARNINGS. If you need them, check them, cuz there's about 20,000 in this book. I was expecting a light comedy satire horror thing, and this is not really that?? It's way darker than I was expecting, with moments of levity from Pey that kinda lighten the mood. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and will definitely be reading more from this author.
