I haven’t read many books post-reading slump that I’ve had since I was 16, but this book truly changed me. If you can appreciate a vivid, delicious descriptions of glamorous foods, and at the same time stomach gory, violent details of murder… this is truly for you. I found Dorothy Daniels not lovable, but an amusing narrator of this gut-wrenching fem American Psycho of a book, and you know what I fuck with her for it (kinda, not really, don’t hold this statement against me). I was fully prepared for what I was going to read, but not of the person I’d become after. I now know too much about stuff I don’t really want to know… but a knowledge is knowledge, however fucked up it may be.
