Boy, did this writing style suck me in. I love an unhinged, first-person perspective.
During the body horror portion, which takes a lot of build up to get to, I felt like I was mentally watching through my fingers like I would when blood appears on screen in a movie. Eek. Oh girl, she really did that.
Despite several chapters being narrated via Cathy’s letters, I felt like her sections as well Cathy and Ren’s relationship felt flat.
Graphic: Violence and Body horror
Moderate: Sexual assault
