This was weird but I enjoyed it. An interesting reflection on the horrific aspects of womanhood and loneliness. If you look at the book and think "this looks interesting" -- you're right. If you think "This looks weird" -- also very correct. If you think "This might be too weird" -- yeah. If you're still interested it's REALLY interesting.
