stormlightreader 's review for:

Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

I'm really not sure what I read. It was really interesting because of the dark themes. I'm not really sure what the actual plot was. I picked this up because of reviews saying Lapvona was disturbing, but I think I must be desensitised by the horror that I've watched/read over the years because, I wouldn't consider it disturbing but I also don't know what I would call it. Maybe just a category called WTF? It was definitely compelling and kept me reading and after I finished it, I still couldn't grasp what I'd just read. I saw a review saying that "it means absolutely nothing and you don’t get anything out of it" and I would totally agree. However, it was a fun read with some uncomfortable scenes.
