No amount of brain bleach will remove the horrors of this book from my mind, truly disgusting and I honestly have no idea what is wrong with Mr Ralston.
A play on room/womb womb is a single room horror story, a man brings a overweight sex worker to a pay by the hour motel room and he starts telling her more and more depraved and disgusting stories, she in turn tells him some horrible stories of her life and clients, culminating in one of the weirdest endings I have ever read.
This book made me question what the heck I just read.

There was a slight twist (more of a reveal) that worked really well, but I did find a fair few of the stories to be a little predictable.
Also shout out to Shyla, the plus sized prostitute who is apparently colour blind cause girl those flags you were missing? They were red as heck yo
