- the violence and weirdness → it took me a little aback at first, but I’m here for it!
- the underlying message (and no, this is not a book about vegetarianism)
- the different POVs allow us to see the story from different perspectives but also contribute to the idea that the MC does not have a voice
- it’s a beautifully written book, even when it’s ugly
- the way it stuck on the back of my head and does not let me go
- I know it’s a book that I’m gonna enjoy even more the second time around
WHAT I DIDN'T ENJOY
- very, very minor but there were points, especially in the dreams sections, where it became a bit confusing for me
READ IF YOU ENJOY
- character-focused books
- a dark, bizarre and disturbing vibe
- unhinged women
- hidden meanings
- different views on life
- non-lovable and flawed characters
- underlying critics of sexist societies

It’s horrible. All the men are vile. It’s a deeply unpleasant and depressing read.
Proceed with caution I’d suggest. Check the content warnings.
