It took me about 70 pages to get in, but once I was immersed, what a phenomenal book. At times difficult to follow, but overall a fantastic read that touches on so many persistent societal problems.

cult x, more like cult sex. textbook case of #menwritingwomen, also the absence of consent made me very uncomfortable at times.

i loved the metaphysical lectures, wish the book had stayed that way to the very end. after them the book took an even stranger turn... did i understand anything? no. do i care? also no. am i disturbed? absolutely.
