I didn't necessarily expect to like this, because I haven't heard great things, and the fact that it's written by a male author makes me feel...weird and I do think it would've hit harder if it was written by a woman but god the climax/ending really got to me and I cried a lot.
Honestly I’m still not sure if "like" is the right word to use, because I wasn't sure how I felt about it for most of the book, but it is compulsively readable, and I got through the whole physical book in two sittings, and despite various parts making me upset/angry/etc. I don't think I can necessarily rate it lower than this. I will say, also expected it to be gorier/worse than it was based on osmosis? That's not a complaint though, because I’m not really a horror fan.
Idk. Mixed feelings but I had a really strong emotional response and I loved the various fucked up (in different ways) female characters and their relationships with each other.
