So this review might be biased, as I love Ricky Olson.
But I truly do love this book. Read kt multiple times. Unfortunately couldn't get my hands on the re release signed with extra chapter.
I think this book was absolutely disgusting, embarrassing, there where what the f moments, there was so much filth and weirdness. I loved it. I haven't read many books that are just this blunt and will say what this book said.
There are many trigger warnings in this, though.
I do love the writing, but some parts were hard for me as English isn't my native language. The blurb really does not do this book justice. I think the authors note is worth reading, it talks about the weirdness of this book and why the author has chosen to write it that way.
My favorite quotes:
Because some grudges can't be forgotten.
If you've never loved someone enough to really hurt them, you've never really loved them at all.
You don't realise how much something ducks you up until it makes you change your entire life.
