The story felt kind of repetitive, but I did enjoy

when the tables were turned and Teo got the shit beat out of him lmao.

Interesting premise, but the ending felt like a cop out.

oh this book pissed me OFF!!!!!

it’s so messed up. the author did a fantastic job of making you HATE the goddamn protagonist. the way he wrote him was brilliant but oh my gOD he was infuriating. 

TW FOR … ALMOST EVERYTHING??

that ending fucking SUCKED. ugh. i was really hoping he wouldn’t get away with everything. the last chapter pissed me off so bad.

enoki's review against another edition

jesus fucking christ. i genuinely hate this book. i definitely see where the author was trying to go with this but it’s just horrible to read. i actually liked YOU and it is just a way worse version of it. and i’m a fan of dark gross books (Sharp Objects is one of my favorites) but the book moves so quickly as if they’re just bullet points. i stopped at the point where he

made it so Clarice could no longer walk

the whole book is just filled with Teo’s delusions and it’s honestly disgusting and insane which is the point… but it was just not a fun or a good read. i was really trying to hold out for a beautiful line or something meaningful but it just got progressively worse and i honestly would not recommend this to anyone. it is a rly easy book to read though and in the beginning you do get kind of swept up in it but the first chunk of the book is way better than the rest of it.
