Woah. The wildest story I've read in a while. Grotesque, weird, outlandish. I loved it! The pace, the style, the whole thing was crazy! 🪱

Sometimes when you have ideas, it's okay to leave them in your drafts.

You know what? I expected it to be so much more grotesque with the way people were reviewing it. 

It was sad, seeing someone dove wholeheartedly into an unrequited romance with just selfish intent on the other side. And the building dread that forms in the first few pages just continues to compile til the final line.

The amount of hype around this book gives it certain expectations that it simply didn't meet for me. Decent read, but nothing special

I appreciated the anecdotal format, I feel it pushed the narrative forward and fast tracked the character development. Eric LaRoca is great at keeping you guessing, whilst simultaneously telling you exactly what’s occurred. This was a dark but fun, queer novella that I would recommend to only a select few; only the worthy.
