Estoy impactada en el mejor de los sentidos. Normalmente no soy fan de los thrillers, pero algo me atrajo de esta lectura. Es ligera y rápida la forma de leerla, pero a ratos es tan pesada que si me tomé unos minutos.

Recomendada pero con la reserva que no es para los altamente sensibles.

This is a book. Very triggering and disgusting about a depraved lesbian relationship. After reading this you will look at Apple peelers, tape worms and meat very differently.

1.0

The characters are not well fleshed out making their motives and the path of their character trajectory unclear. There is not enough background on the character Agnes to believe that she would so quickly decend into and be willing to go along with the events of the book. The book is heavy on using graphic metaphors to describe the relationship between the two characters but the whole thing seems like it's rushing through the plot. This book relies on the shock and gore factor alone. I read it in one 2 hour sitting and spent most of the time confused as to why these characters were acting the way they were. The way they talked to one another was like they needed to include enough literary devices to get a good grade on their high school English assignments.
