Idk why this was called the story of the eye. They only fucked an eye once. It should’ve been the story of the piss kink or at least the story of the oviposition kink bc they did that a ton

This book PMO so bad 😭 both of the main characters sucked, obviously the mom was worse but the narrator was also annoying and narcissistic, when it was obvious the author was trying to present the daughter as if she was never in the wrong. The dialogue was atrocious.  The ending was so stupid. Like girl you’re in the locked car, your mom’s not superhuman she isn’t going to get in or catch up to you, and you decide to floor it downhill in the snow?? You deserve to die at that point 😭

I guessed the twist wayyy early in the book lol. Still a very interesting premise. Overall I was engaged, but I felt some of the more long winded inner monologues from Junior took away from the eerieness of the situation
