this book was quick and dark, entertaining, a bit comedic.
definitely very creative, the characters were extremely detailed and especially the main character felt very fleshed out with partially gruesome, partially wholesome memories and experiences.
reading this felt like reading an autobiography of a very disturbed, unsure, unreliable and morally gray woman.
i expected this to be a little bit more disturbing though. there were some descriptions of very unsettling images and videos, naturally, but those were always kept rather short.
the twist (
i read the e-book and didn't have them show me the page number, so when the book ended after what i presumed was maybe page 100/130, i was flabbergasted.
because nothing was resolved. it just left me wanting more, you know.
but also, i get it because i probably couldn't think of a better way to tie a story like this up either, so fair play.
there were a couple of great quotes though, interesting observations, phenomenal ideas.
a book worth reading (since it's only 130-ish pages long anyway) if you like darker and unhinged stories, but nothing more than a bit of entertainment unfortunately.

A very triggering read. The content they discuss moderating is somewhat disturbing. Plot contains clear sexual abuse.molliundera_'s review against another edition

That’s not even mentioning the unnecessary homophobia, racism, antisemitism, and fat phobia. Slurs and conversation of these topics were played off as a joke at first, then by the end were cemented as actual beliefs several characters held.
It has a pretty cover. Literally the only good thing I can say.
