Totally gripping from start to finish; this whole book feels like a terrible accident you cannot look away from. Of all the unhinged woman books I've read this has been my favorite so far. Despite how insane our protagonist is, and how detached from reality the people she interacts with are, I believed every single one of them. It really explores power dynamics between men and women (but also women and women), through the lens of sex/attraction. Clark really takes her time exploring this from all angles, which I found fascinating. There are a ton of TW for this though, so please proceed with caution.
