I think with an objective lens this book is so beautiful and really tells a story about people’s addictions - especially addiction with factors people don’t often think about: gluttony, adoration, depression.

selfishly, i had to rate it so low from how long it took me to finish from how raw it was to read. I wish there was more resolve for Cleo, especially cause i got her the most. and i know her art is the resolve, but when relating it to myself it wasn’t.
