ohhh my god the main character was absolutely insufferable, narcissistic, pretentious, manipulative and unlikeable. i'm amazed at how well that was written to the point i felt like i was supposed to be collecting reasons to dislike the MC. i really liked the author's writing style it felt so easy to read... the air of nonchalance carried by the MC through the whole thing was executed so excellently - especially with how even the most horrifying stuff was described in the same nonchalant tone. the loss of control and loss of sense of self was portrayed so well. this was also a little heartbreaking especially towards the end of it like the most jarring things get revealed when you're caught off guard. a bit stomach-churning to see how a victim can end up hurting other people the same way they were hurt. like she's definitely an incredibly fucked up person to the point it's sad to see because you know exactly how she got to be that way.

Femcel, American Psycho vibes. 
This book made me feel so icky and just despondent in a way I'm not sure I've experienced when reading a book before. It was genuinely challenging to read but also so compelling. I've read a lot of books with unlikeable, problematic women protagonists but Irina Sturgess is on another level.
I didn't like the pacing of the text conversations, perhaps it works better not as an audiobook but it was quite tedious for the more mundane text threads of them arranging nights out or whatever, and that put me off a little. But when you're just listening to Irina's villain monologues it's horrifically fascinating.
