Just wtf.  It was good on the emotional soul searching part but everything else was just too painful to read. Lucy is so so terrible and obviously a love addict who's ex boyfriend strung her along. She goes off the rails but not so totally that you can feel for her or excuse her.  The very graphic detailed sex scenes also felt unnecessary or just added for shock value.

Worst book I have ever read.

You can tell the dog is going to die and you are just stuck waiting for it, watching.

I would not recommend this book to a single person. On the whole planet. Milkfed was at least somewhat amusing.

This book was complicated. It explored a lot of what it means to be human. It was reflective for sure. It was ugly and it was beautiful. A little weird, but fun too.

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
