This is a crazy book and crazy story. i don’t think the ending really stuck. the climax (literally not the female orgasm lol) felt like it was too early for the remaining story of the book. the end got a bit boring, incorporating more characters. i was convinced keith wasn’t really there at all, more of Greta’s self sabotaging visions. but he was the one who stabbed Luke. there’s a very interesting relationship between humans an animals in this book and Greta acting on some animalistic tendencies. will be thinking about this strange sometimes sexy always uncomfortable masterpiece for a long time.
