Penance by Eliza Clark
4.0
this book really expresses the teenage horror of not wanting to seem 'cringe'.
such an interesting read, i went in thinking it was a thriller for some reason so i was slightly dissappointed when i realized it was more literary. clark did such a good job at writing these characters, and describing the internet hell hole of tumblr and true crime. it felt like i was diving deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole, slowly descending through the iceberg of serial killer fanfic, creepypasta, and disturbing sims mods(??). truly horrifying, incredible.
