Wow. I am almost entirely vegetarian (can’t quite give up chicken lol) and yet some of the descriptions of food in this book have me thinking Thoughts. I loved getting inside Dorothy’s mind, the apathetic, logical way she looks at the world, the way she talks about food, and the way she directly confronts us readers for judging her actions. She is a fantastic unlikeable narrator, and while it took me a bit of time to get used to her rather longwinded and condescending narration style, I was loving it by the end. A must-read if you’re looking for an absolutely unhinged, but still classy, book.
Graphic: Blood, Murder, Cannibalism, and Death
