If “Well, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my actions” was a book. My mentality going into this definitely has influence on my review. The synopsis for this book made it sound like going into a whimsical fantasy romance, and the downward spiral of the FMC is anything but. Do I get it, yes. Is it what I expected and wanted at this time? No. It’s a sad journey with a woman’s addiction to Love and her terrible sexual encounters. Some major warnings/spoilers:
the doggo dies from tranquilizer OD/neglect
menstrual cunnilingus, anal sex,
she digs a turd from her ass while cleaning herself for potential anal, it’s a small chapter dedicated to this
. Some moments also felt like the FMC was trying to be so deep, but it just felt so forced and fake to me, and maybe that was the point? Who knows.
