A review by piastri
Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt
challenging
dark
tense
medium-paced
2.0
i’m sorry but genuinely what the fuck was this.
i feel like the message just got completely lost and the haunted house metaphor was trying to be so many things all at once that i just. couldn’t understand.
also so much fucking trauma and it just felt a bit like layering all this awful stuff for shock value and to justify that something bad happened.
idk the concept was good and maybe i’m a bit too dumb to understand it all but this just didn’t really feel like a coherent story
