Really good if you're wanting to get into the weird litfic genre. Sometimes I was a bit lost in the writing and I did expect more craziness to happen being described as American Psycho esque with "outrageous body horror," but I'm not disappointed I read it. Some good talks of beauty standards and past trauma, but I feel like it resolved very easily.
