When I first started reading, I must say I was not fully aware of what I was getting myself into. If you're looking for a story that will leave you gagged all the way to the end, this may be a good read. Although, there are many triggerimg moments that are not meant for everyone.

Although disturbing, I did find the main character very interesting and I often felt saddened by the environment she's surrounded with that led her to her adult mental state. There is a really strong commentary of basic society norms that are deemed required to live a successful life and how it affects those who chose the freedom of going outside that norm.

I don't know how to feel about the book. I do like it to an extent but it is quite disturbing.

4.75

let me just say, I’m just as shocked as anyone else is that I’m rating it 4.75/5 considering… Well, everything. It’s so fucking weird, from the very beginning to the veryyy end. It’s such an uncomfortable read but I absolutely had to finish it. Gots to see it through, my boy. I wouldn’t go as far to say I liked it, but I was certainly enthralled by it.

it’s folie à trois and they certainly matched each other’s freaks.
