So, the thing is, I loved the writing. The writing contained so much and has so much value. But (yes there is a but) sometimes it was overdone. She tries too hard to make it too perfect. In this book there were also some kind of “poems”, the poems at the last pages were okay but some of them were shit and confusing. 
—“that is as fucking hot
as a fucking freshly fucked fox
in a fucking bush fucking fire
confirmed fucking
Northern fucking Territory
fucking Police
fuck” 
Like that poem is fucking shit. And there were also other times where it was just weirdly put. 
“Time misses Death
Time Mrs Death
calling Time, Mrs Death
Time misses 
Mrs Death
Time”
Am I stupid or is that poem just confusing? 
Anyway I liked the story and what it was telling, but just those pages where I had to but the book down to just cringe, that is not it.
