This book immediately, and I say IMMEDIATELY got dark.
This is probably one of the most bizarre, unhinged, and deranged books I’ve ever read. It will make you feel disgusted, furious, and gut-wrenchingly sad. It also dealt with trauma while tackling societal expectations and conformities from which the author definitely had an interesting take aka the “baby factory”.
On another note, i liked this translation. I am also liking this author’s works a lot. I may continue to read her other works as well.
