I don't understand the hype surrounding this book. It's slightly better than what you could find on literotica.com, but not by much. The characters are over simplified and I didn't understand the world in which they existed. I wish there had been more world building. They have a side character who mentions their involvement in a circus and there's zero follow up questions. It's a book about two serial killers and I was bored. So bizarre that it has such high reviews. Hard pass.
