I almost didn’t finish this. I don’t know if I’m glad I did or not. I don’t think I fully ~get~ it (even with the end note). Parts of it were enjoyable. Urethra had me actually laugh. And parts of it made me feel something for the characters. I just don’t feel like I actually got anything out of it.

thor's review against another edition

dark

i didn't understand a lot of it, it was particularly gross and shocking, and then the last couple of chapters had me shedding actual tears. i have no idea how to rate or review this book. i will just say that, as per the author's note,

this really is a book about pain and addiction and i think the ending articulates it really well, even if i was confused by the rest of the novel.

Fairly dark and sadistic. Really running with the premise of, "if a rich family wanted to murder and rape and get away with it as often as possible, where would it go?"
