This book is just American Psycho’s sister, British Photographer. I’m not mad about it, but I don’t think that this is any more disturbing or dark than that. The book doesn’t really “go” anywhere, but that’s kind of the point by the end. It feels wrong to call this book “fun” when it has some genuinely distressing content and themes, but frankly, I don’t know if I totally consider this to be a horror novel—if anything, it’s a character study of an incredibly unreliable narrator who’s (possibly? probably?) done some really dark things and had equally horrible things happen to her, and while the stuff is horrific, I personally never felt like my pulse was “racing” in the way one might associate with a psychological thriller. Even so, I mostly enjoyed this book, though it really significantly picks up in the second half.
