unhinged narrator who’s truly an awful person navigates a disturbing downward spiral.
it’s fast paced and i absolutely demolished it. i’m interested in reading more from the author!
make sure to read content warnings.

Also, this book is so goddamn british, normally I could just ignore it and move on, but the writing reminds you every two pages.

Ok, it has been a few days since I read it. It is maybe not as good as I originally thought. I still liked it but there are a lot of weird things in this book.

pretty surprised at how highly this is rated! as far as “transgressive” fiction goes its very timid. it feels like a first draft almost, as its missing a lot of the pieces that make these types of stories effective. i feel like the author straight up didnt do enough research into the ideas shes pursuing.

the book WAS wobbly at parts, will probably age poorly for things that are admittedly funny now but will be nigh incoherent to anyone reading this in 20 years time, and the ending is a bit of a dealbreaker for some (not me, and not after the disappointment of our wives under the sea - that WAS a stinker) but ultimately, it crafted a world that i could understand and relate to in so many ways. really special book for me.
