Was in the mood for something truly sickening, and this fit the bill, although it wasn't quite as vile as I was expecting based on some reviews on reddit. Irina's messiness and spiraling, and denial of her own trauma, and her desire to hurt herself, and then eventually others - all of it was deeply unsettling. Even her less directly harmful behavior is exposed and embarrassing. You will absolutely cringe your way through this. And the unhinged texts she'd send to people to manipulate them were so well written (absolutely horrific behavior!). Giving this a 4 because it did drag a bit in the middle, and I was also expecting it to escalate a lot sooner, so the pacing felt a little off.
