The Slob by Aron Beauregard

4.0

This book, from start to finish, was a completely wild ride. The beginning started off with a daughter who cleaned because her parents never did, all while living with a bipolar, manic sister. Vera grows up and starts working/volunteering for a veterans alcoholics anonymous group where she meets this guy named Daniel. The relationship started off with him being quiet and her trying to make him laugh and I found it so sweet that she wanted to make him smile and laugh, and feel the things he felt during the war he fought through. They marry rather quickly, and buy a house and try for a baby. To earn extra cash for their child's arrival, Vera decides to go forward with being a door to door salemens and that's when the story goes dark. It was so disgusting and horrifying, something of nightmares. I was literally sick to my stomach. There were so much blood and guts and s*xual assault and cannibalism that it was definitely hard to stomach. 4/5 because the story was quick and fast, but everything packed a punch.
