4.0

this book is a journey through the psyche of different characters who are all connected to each other. the book is infuriating and disgusting, the characters are insufferable and unhinged, but the interesting thing is once you're in you can't stop reading. the short stories made me reflect on a lot of topics, such as identity, shame, victimhood, and rejection. the writing style is witty and self-aware. i would recommend reading this if you're captivated by the premise, it's a well-executed project, i can tell a lot of research went into  it. i would advise checking trigger warnings beforehand (the sexual and gory descriptions can be quite heavy to read).
