Tough to rate this one. There were some beautiful passages and insightful bits but ultimately it just disappointed me. I liked the first half but then it just stagnates in this really cynical place. I wanted more development for Lucy.

and they didn't have to do that to the dog

4.5

This will be a book like nothing you’ve ever read before. Expect to hate the main character, read a lot of sex scenes, and suspend your disbelief when the plot takes a surrealist twist.

Please heed the trigger warnings, but if you think you’re in the right headspace then this is a thought provoking read.
