If ever a content warning was needed for a book, it's this one. Beautiful writing paired with a haunting and vile faux memoir tragically based on some true events.
The epilogue and post script literally had me holding back gags and left me feeling nauseated.
I highly recommend the audiobook; being able to really hear Ronald's notes and emphasis on things makes all the difference imo.

The writing in the book was tiny, normal print would have made the 369 pages double the length ! Unfortunately the book is very slow paced and dry and not a lot happens when you feel that you’ve read a lot and find you haven’t travelled very far along in the book. I’d been forcing myself to carry on reading as it’s part of my Naturalitsy 2023 challenge but just can’t read any more. Put simply it’s boring!
