5 star read for me. I would definitely read again. The writing is somewhat elementary but I actually think that adds to it. Gruesome and dark, definitely some fucked up shit in here. Loved it. Check the content warnings.

i ended up actually really liking this. if you’re looking for splatterpunk, grossness. this book is for you. cannibalism and necrophilia (why isn’t there a content warning for that??) I was uncomfortable but I really liked it! also that twist??

i can’t in good conscious give it any higher but just know that it is actually pretty good.

When people warn you that this book is disgusting and vile. They are not joking. I read the whole book with my jaw on the floor and horrified. It's a good read that I'll never read again.

The writing is beautiful. But really read the trigger warning before. I already knew what I was going into.

Unless you are a a real extreme horror fan do not read. This is one of my favorite books but please keep in mind that something is me is broken and I haven't found a book yet that is a deal breaker yet.
