This book is fucked up
reading really did feel like reading the diary of an extremely mental disturbed and depressed individual
i definitely liked the first journal the most. it had more critiques on society and perspectives on fitting in that i felt was interesting to read.
There was some seriously uncomfortable descriptions of woman and the MC was clearly misogynistic. Very morally questionable but i think that’s the point lol.
very upsetting read. do not recommend if you are in a bad headspace as this book absolutely would make it worse.
