This book was reeeeeeeally fucked up. Intentionally so, but fucked up nonetheless. Had to take lots of breaks from it due to the writing style (huge run-on sentences without breaks or chapters) & content/depravity of the content. It was a lot, but I’m very glad I read it. The ending felt rushed to me (though it could have been that it was just a high-stakes scenario) but honestly, that’s fine because I don’t know how much more I could take of either of the main characters.
