4.75
I really need to stop reading GR reviews BEFORE starting a book because I almost got talked out of reading this. Idk why I do that. But I am sooo glad I decided to give it a shot because this book was a huge win for me I just loved it.
I'm always a fan of unlikeable female characters and I love horror so it's really no surprise that I liked this book. I understand why a lot of people didn't. Maeve is a horrible person and also extremely full of herself in the most irritating way, but I love that about her! I'm not sure what it is that draws me to these types of characters but I always love them.
Coincidentally, I'm listening to American Psycho right now which obviously was partial inspiration for this book (so far I like Maeve a lot more than Bateman but that's no surprise since I love women). I also liked the mentions of the underground man, another deeply disliked character who I like. I swear I'm not like these characters hahaha I guess I just like how free they are with their thoughts and actions, how they don't care at all about what others think of them. I also relate a lot to the misanthropy I guess, while I personally love people, I have my moments where I feel the opposite and it's soothing to see that in books.
Anyways, this book is VERY dark, gory, violent, and uncomfortable..Most people won't like it. But if you generally share my taste in books and you like extreme horror and unlikeable characters I would give this a go and don't let the 1 star reviews scare you away!
