perplexed 's review for:

Penance by Eliza Clark
5.0

Aight so, imma preface this by saying I can completely understand someone not vibing with this book as much as I did, but as someone who spent their formative years in the trenches of Tumblr??? This book called to my very SOUL. 

I adored Boy Parts so when I heard the concept for this book I was already stoked, and it really delivers. Also ??? Clark's writing is so effortlessly funny? Like?? Imagine having to come up with a fake Tumblr name and picking "HarambeVengence" 10/10 

TL;DR - a really interesting look into true crime and how dehumanising it can be to the victims involved, but also so much more than that ahhhh I loved this book and can't get all my thoughts out properly :')
