Nauseating, bleak, and filled with anguish—reading this felt like being trapped in a horrible, inescapable trance. I found myself questioning why I empathized with any of the characters, yet the story remained strangely fascinating. The vulgar, misogynistic language was so extreme it made me want to throw up.
