haunting... honestly i connected to it a lot as a survivor of sexual violence. don't come in expecting a gruesome horror novel - it's more of a disturbing story about a woman robbed of autonomy and dignity, whose body is her final site of defiance.

i hate men and this was very, very sad

overall unsatisfying end with a lot of men abusing their power and the psychological effects it has in the women in their lives were mostly highlighted in the last part of the book.

if you were told this was a horror novel you were lied to. it’s not NOT horror but i wouldn’t describe it as such.

Just very unsettling and uncomfortable. I almost only read dark books but I found this one affecting my mood quite noticeably in a way I really didn’t like so I put it down. I was almost finished so perhaps I’ll pick it back up down the road and finish the last 40 pages or so but not for awhile
<I ended up completing the book, I did find it engaging and it really has a way of pulling you into it and into the minds of these different characters, however it remains deeply unsettling for the entirety of the book. Perhaps as a person who has struggled with certain mental health issues described in this book, it just affected me really uncomfortably, and I don’t believe this will ever be on a re-read list for me.>
