What the actual ever-loving fuck?
I loved it. It's fucked up and complex and the narrator is a complicated asshole and more questions are asked than answered and oh my actual God.
If you'd like to read some interesting stuff with real, challenging, fucked up kinky motherfuckers, this is your book, with the underpinnings of dystopia and queer despair.
Anyway, mind the trigger warnings.
