I didn’t realise what I was getting myself into - it really was a descent into madness.

I really enjoy Murutas writing style, as I’ve read Convenience Store Woman and loved it. This was definitely much darker, but the way she takes me on a journey made everything insane feel sane.

Would say definitely a lot of triggers in this book so read the warnings, as I wasn’t expecting it so dark!
