Beautifully written book. It’s political, portrays a female psychopath so well and really makes you feel connected with her. Not only are each and every character so interesting in their own way, each shows their flaws so well.

Exquisitamente escrito, es delicioso, decadente, lleno de sabor. No adecuado para hipertensos.

i had so many thoughts while reading this, and now i have none. this is a freaking work of art, as messed up as it may be. i must admit i skimmed the overly-descriptive meals, but the rest i. ate. up. like a woman starved

To sum it up in one word, this book was excessive. 

Loved the

cannibalism and symbolism related to partaking in the act of it

but the rest was boring or felt slightly offensive.

Wasserman, the female black cop, was treated so weirdly. The author was fixed on her Blackness, and described her hair constantly and weirdly. Also compared her to a horse multiple time so?????

Dorothy tells the narrative in a weird, jumpy way I got used to, but it took away any thrill or surprise because she would just tell you whatever she was going to do in a summary, then go onto explain it in more tedious prose. Maybe true crime readers who like a #girlboss story will like it, but the story fell flat after about 8 chapters for me, and a lot of the "profound" shit was underwhelming but so tedious to read.

2.0

For a book about cannibalism, it turned out to be surprisingly uneventful. Not at all what I was expecting from this book, I must say I'm disappointed. The pacing is increeeeedibly slow, making it a tedious read. The main character is insufferable; while I understand we are meant to dislike her because she's a murderer, her annoying personality made me almost give up on the book. Also, the way Dorothy describes sex made me want to vomit.

"As I tasted the bleach-and-umami flavor of his precum" —girl, what?

It felt more like reading a pretentious early '90s food magazine than a novel about a literal psychopath.
