The Pisces by Melissa Broder
dark
3.75
It kinda takes a lot to make me viscerally uncomfortable, but Melissa has a gift. Her characters’ inner monologues are always so unique. I really like that this book is a statement on the expectations around love and the question of who deserves our love. I generally like Melissa’s writing style, but maybe don’t pick this one up if you don’t enjoy unlikable and/or boy/relationship-crazy characters. The animal cruelty/death piece was also a touch too much for me, but I suppose that’s on me for not checking the content warnings. All that to say, this was a very quick read for me and I’ll definitely read her next book lol
