 This book was utterly horrific and has left me feeling so so angry. Cathartic and reassuringly familiar in many ways, traumatising and extremely triggering in others. Truly being a woman suffering in a medically misogynistic world is a horrifying, dehumanising experience. It's been a while since I've thought so highly of something that was just so unpleasant to read.

Rating and full review to come as I read this one for Grimdark Magazine.
