A lonely med school student kidnaps the girl of his dreams and embarks on a twisted journey across Brazil.

Teo had way more than a few screws loose. Look up synonyms for ‘delusional’ and I guarantee you will see his name at the top of the list. 😭 All it took was a brief encounter at a bbq to ignite his unhealthy fixation with aspiring screenwriter, Clarice. Teo was fully convinced that she was warming up to the idea of their “relationship” and even showed some annoyance towards her understandable uneasiness while being held captive by him. In spite of the gory scenes, there were some surprisingly humorous moments. I couldn’t help but to giggle at some of the wild comments made in his inner dialogue: “Patricia was wearing a dress as old and crumpled as herself.” 🤣

This story was so sick and freakin twisted, and dare I say it…I enjoyed almost every minute of it. I always find it fascinating reading from the psychotic character’s POV. The ending was absolutely sickening. 🥴

Would have been a great book if not for the ableism. 
The correct language for people with dwarfism is people first language or ‘little people’. A lot of people with dwarfism dislike the term dwarf because it plays into the Disney mythical creature ideology that’s both dehumanising and greatly infantilising. The author also repeatedly talks about how disabled people are burdens. And also made a comment about how pathetic it was that someone ‘looked like an Indian’.
