The Worst Kind of Want by Liska Jacobs
2.0
2 stars? 2.5?
This was okay. I liked the writing, especially the physical descriptions (I love grotesque but real descriptions of bodies!), but the timeline was hard to follow and it didn’t feel like much happened despite all the scandal. The main character was awful, which is fine, but there wasn’t much to make up for that to keep me interested.
