3.0
I don't know if I hated this book or liked it. Is it a 1 star or a 5 star? I don't know.
It was intriguing, disgusting, frustrating, vulgar and still somehow beautifully written. I hated the main character at times, but I felt for her and felt with her. Some of her actions were understandable in the context of the book, but then again utterly unforgivable.
As one can see I am undecided, but what I know is that his book evokes strong emotions and made me reflect on love, obsession, mental health and human connections
