I liked how it was written. Not a lot of sentence but a lot of and, I felt like I was in Joe’s head all the time.
However, I found it pretty slow.
So, yeah, great book. The story is good, it is, however, pretty slow.

I wasn’t really a fan of the amount of sex in this book. I felt it was unnecessary and right at the very start I thought I might DNF this book just because of it. I understand that some of it was necessary but I would have personally preferred if this wasn’t some weird, messed up, psychopathic porn.
I enjoyed this book overall. I loved how unique and weird it was and how different Joe was from any other main character I’ve read from before. I think the perspective and second person narrative really made this book and worked super well. I was put off quite a bit because of the sex and honestly I did not empathize with Joe like everyone else seems to have. 3.5 stars.
