I wasnāt expecting all of this darkness and unlikeability! The main character needed therapy more than anything in life, but I found it so fascinating how easily manipulated everyone else was around her too š³
Iād say at some parts, I couldnāt stop, and at some parts I put the book down and felt a bit meh š¤·š»āāļø The ways of an untrustworthy narrator I suppose.
This one gets 3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you āØ

Typically books focusing on art are not my thing, as I find it hard to picture art š and I don't tend to know the references, but I felt this book was accessible, if you don't know the photography/art "scene". The artists mentioned felt fictional even if they were not and the art narrative really facilitated the plot.
Although this book covers alot of dark topics. As the plot continued it got even more grotesque and horrific. It was very funny in parts with a few laugh out loud moments dotted throughout.
I loved this book! The protagonist is flawed, relatable, awful, unreliableĀ and horrific, I felt many emotions towards he, and I liked how you second guessed if her narrative was real or not, becoming more delusionsl as the book progressed. I would re-read in a heartbeat and highly recommend.
