This was a wild ride. Eliza Clark does unsettling really well, the book started off fairly normal but things took a turn for the “wtf did I just read” pretty quickly. All the characters are pretty terrible, but particularly Irina, whose descent into madness is depicted really well. I thought the ending was very abrupt, though? Like there wasn’t really any resolution and because of that I wasn’t surprised to learn that this was originally meant to be a short story. I’m going to need 2-3 business days to recover from reading this.
