Elle by Philippe Djian
4.0
Not sure what about this short and twisted novel appealed to me so much. Probably that it's complicated-ness reminds me of my own family and experiences.
Definitely not your typical novel. It's dark and messed up, it's characters are extremely flawed and borderline mental. But there are a lot of truths being addressed about the never ending cycles of self hurt and self loathing that is entrancing to read about. How even when we know we are making mistakes, we do it any way because it may be easier or we feel we deserve it. Everything is laid bare and said succinctly.
