This book is dark, humorous, and sometimes very disgusting. Although the main character isn't likable – she's even abhorrent at times – I was absorbed in the story. If you're feeling a lot of frustration and rage, or if you've experienced the horrors of *men* and the *male species*, this book might hit the spot. You also may enjoy this if you're into British humor or if you had a BAD GIRL or drug phase. Reading this book felt a bit like watching a car wreck and not being able to look away. Beware of the trigger warnings! I'm concerned the handling of some topics was possibly rushed, harmful, and problematic (but could also see some of the arguments that it's the point of this book). Perhaps like Rina's substances, I couldn't put it down but also didn't enjoy it all that much.
