A review by goodnightngo
Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh

2.5

weirdest book ever. so much (unnecessary?) graphic description. hate all the characters, but really love the way ottessa can tell a story from many different pov’s without any warning. don’t read if you are the faint of heart. honestly surprised i got thru this one and the time limit i gave myself definitely helped. i do NOT want to live in lapvona
