Notes:
- I actually really enjoyed the ambience and mood that this book created, it was great at being gritty, vulgar and dark.
- I wasn't blown away by the prose nor could i really find much substance in terms of implicit layers in the meanings/themes. This book did a great job at discussing gender, sexuality, drugs, mental instability, etc but it didn't really feel like it was trying to showcase these through ambiguous layers.
- Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it though! The topics and scenes were taboo/explicit and I think writing about them this way was appeal enough and very cleverly executed on its own. Achieved being a good book through the premise and straightforward execution which I think is also something that can be rewarding as a reader.
