This was unexpectedly so sad. The POV character is SO devastating to me. Oly, I love you. You deserved better from everybody.

The story was incredibly compelling... come for the freaks, stay for the raw humanity. Wanted more of an explanation for things, but maybe that's the point - some things can't be explained.

An interesting and enjoyable read, though I have some lingering questions about the stance of the book on disability. Didn’t exactly stick the landing on the ending, but good overall.

For a while I’ve been craving a really weird book tbh and this fit the bill!! I feel like I’ve been reading books recently that are billed as being fucked up and have been a bit disappointed w them - this one was sooooooo fucked up and dark and so I finally feel satiated and can go read something normal lol. If you’re looking for something balls to the wall insane would recommend
