fascinating and horrifying, like a car crash. Barbara’s mundane dysfunction is initially overshadowed by Sheba’s much more extravagant wrongdoings, but  Barbara reveals more and more of herself through her telling of Sheba’s story and we get to see the pair in all of their ugly glory. ultimately disquieting and incredibly compelling

It's a very snobby book, I couldn't get over how annoying the narrator is and then the actual story is also very dark.
