rarityfemme's review against another edition
"It's because the planet is a carnivore and just wants to be fed. People want that as well. People like to eat other people. I spent so many years forgetting I had teeth, too."
What an incredibly grotesque and horrifyingly beautiful piece of literature. The book explores a series of encounters between the two main characters. Each one is more disturbing and boundary breaking than the last. It's raw, unflinching and unapologetic. It forces the reader to directly engage with uncomfortable situations and questions.
The writing is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to confront the true depths of human depravity. I cannot in good faith recommend this book to anyone, unless you thoroughly understand what you're getting into.

It's a gripping tale of a toxic relationship gone even more wrong. It could've benefited from being a bit more of a slow burn but it works great as this short novella.
Please check the trigger warnings.

The characters are so one dimensional, they come off silly and unreal and just stay that way.
If I had to say something nice about it I’d say the concept and overall theme could’ve made for a compelling story.
The writing wasn’t nearly tactful enough though, so it failed.
Moderate: Self harm and Body horror
Minor: Homophobia
