I dont usually go for sci fi, dystopian storylines but this book pulled me into its world and kept my interest until the very end. A bizarrely profound narrative criticizing capitalism, body image, racism and unachievable Western Beauty standards.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Sexism, Xenophobia, and Body horror
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Cannibalism
