Without a doubt, the weirdest book I’ve ever read. Themes of assimilation, alienation, abuse - check the CWs because this one is HEAVY. I honestly don’t know how to rate this. Strange, unpleasant, but somewhat affecting.
Graphic: Murder, Emotional abuse, Misogyny, Body horror, Incest, Child abuse, Adult/minor relationship, Gaslighting, Mental illness, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, and Cannibalism
