This was incredibly bleak and so well-written. Irina was intensely hateable from the first page, but in a way that was actually believable and enjoyable to read. I liked how Eliza Clark explored some of the reasons that might have caused her to become the disgusting person she was. 
I really appreciated the depiction of a toxic friendship dynamic and Flo's cringey blog posts were probably my favourite part of the book. 
Will definitely be reading Penance when I can find it in the library
