I knew I was gonna like it, but I didn’t quite expect to get sucked into it THAT hard.
It’s graphic and disturbing at times that resonate a lot esp in light of current events, but also just when it comes to existing as a girl/woman.
The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is bc it’s the first novel and I’m holding out until I’ve read the rest.
Anyway I read this in a single day when I should have been busy doing productive things.
