this book tried to tackle so many interesting ideas, but just fell completely flat in it's execution, both lyrically and, above all, grammatically.
the main character is obsessed with the idea of consuming a dead being... but she has been eating meat the entire time? i get the idea but again, the author spends no time actually fleshing out the deeper meanings of the story and leaves us with a sloppy carcass of a story that doesn't even seem to have been proof read once.
very disappointing read for me.

It was definitely repulsive, I guess. I found it difficult to take it seriously because Andi is so annoyingly edgy. I was rolling my eyes over and over again. We get it, Andi, you're dark and totally weird and just want to be accepted by the vultures, whatever. I thought it was fine though. It gave me a really bad stomachache and I couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the day, so I suppose it did its job.

Beautiful, swift, brutal.
Not nearly as gruesome as it’s been made out to be, or possibly I’m desensitized. Regardless, this was a quick, satisfying read.

I never know how to rate extreme horror books. I did really enjoy the writing style, how you could feel the MC's descent into insanity. Deals heavily with issue relating to grief and abandonment. Very short read, great prose but I definitely just want to talk to someone about this book in depth to see their reaction.
