4.0

this was probably the most unhinged book i’ve ever read. the characters were brutal and unapologetic about the things they did to others and themselves. at first they lead separate lives but after an event that pushes both Manu and Nadine to go on the run, they meet each other and naturally team up to reek havoc upon almost anyone they meet, all depending on their moods. they have no real motive for the things they do and the writing is completely detached from any emotional thoughts or feelings behind everything. im so confused as to how i’m supposed to feel about this book.
