« but didn’t all drownings begin with a harmless dribble of water »
beautifully written, the author does such a good job at creating a dark and eerie setting, the vibes were immaculate. her writing truly feels like a fever dream.

« i was a woman when it was convenient to blame me and a girl when they wanted to use me » 
i didn’t expect it to deals with such heavy subjects so definitely check the trigger warnings. the book does a really good job at addressing sexual assault and sexism but most importantly the fact that men are gross and should die ( except preston <333 ) 

although the twists were predictable, the end wrapped up really good. definitely recommend
