I think this may be my favourite book i’ve read so far this year, it was absolutely captivating and had me hooked from the beginning, all whilst having scenes and descriptions that made me want to bury the book underground and never find it again. 

What I got from this book was that Irina’s overly sexual photography and her dangerous behaviour was all an analogy for how women are so often ignored in the world that they can do the most disgusting, disturbing things humanly possible, and still no one will bat an eye at them. She can quite literally admit to murder in a fully crowded restaurant, and no one even notices. 

The writing in this book was so raw and disturbing, i felt sick to my stomach at times from how graphic some of the scenes were. Definitely check trigger warnings if you’re considering reading this, because it’s certainly not for everyone!
