(Primarily Audiobook) what did i just read? it was certainly funny, disturbing, interesting, and unexpected at times, but i don’t know if it made much sense to me. the book felt experimental, it intrigued me, but it also seemed juvenile. don’t walk into this book with a weak stomach!! the ending left me a bit shocked, with an anxiety that took me a minute to shake. wow, honestly don’t know what to think. i feel like learning about the author’s intentions with the story would make it easier for me to form an opinion.
