While it grossed me out in every way possible, the twists were interesting and I think it had some interesting things to say about the “rebirthing” trope that we see in literature. It’s a difficult read and one I don’t recommend if you’re squeamish in ANY way, but for extreme horror I was a fan of the shock value.
It also has some intriguing things to say about the kinds of conversations and relationships that can build between two people that have been served some of life’s worst scenarios.
Will I ever read it again? No.
Do I recommend it? No.
Will I ever forget it? Definitely not.

I do not mind extreme horror or gore, but the topic of rape needs to be handled respectfully.
The main female character has her body and trauma used for the sake of the protagonist, the ending is particularly disgusting. Sexual violence being used in service of someone's goals is vile.
