This read like a fever dream. The way the opressive heat radiates off the page and Victors desperate attempt to make his mind stop spinning, it was amazing. It is short and I was hooked from the first sentence. It is also one of few times where the author utilized the first person narrative to it´s full effiency.

A sweltering book where everyone acts weirdly and teenage girls exist for the teenage boys to be uncheckedly creepy towards.
I didn’t hate this but it also gave me nothing. Leo deserved it.

Writing really transported me to a different place and time. Found myself relating to the narrator at some points, while simultaneously appalled with his behaviour at other times.
