Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt

dark

2.75

I have mixed feelings about this one. It was way darker than I expected, with elements of classic gothic fiction meshing with lots of body horror and political discourse. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did an amazing job bringing the horror element to life, but it also felt a little bit like spending hours and hours in the worst parts of the internet. There were some parts that were very stream-of-consciousness in a way that almost worked, but mostly felt overdone and repetitive and like the author accidentally copied and pasted a blog post in the middle of the book. Ultimately, while I appreciate what the author was trying to do, the gratuitous violence and hatred outweighed everything else and I didn't end up liking this one very much. (The trigger warnings are listed at the beginning of the book, but be aware that they are hit pretty much constantly.)
