this book was the ultimate mind fuck. honestly think i need five years to recover from it fully. its disturbing and cringe worthy but so well written. using such flowery and feminine language to describe such a dark and unsettling novel was such a beautiful choice. when i say “it’s complicated” for lovable characters, i mean dolores who has now become one of my favorite characters of all time. the only reason this book didnt get a five for me is because at some points it becomes so painfully slow, i can not bare to read more than five pages in a day. overall, this book is a must read.
