The writing style and character detail around Irene - a fetish art photographer - and her trauma’s and addictions which create an incredibly raw and gritty world she lives in.
It is a very intense read where we follow the spiral of Irena mental health decline and navigating the toxic relationships she has with friends and family. There is so much trauma packed into this book which shapes her into this brutal and almost sociopathic young woman.
Eliza Clark certainly knows how to write an intense story and captures that morbid fascination - so much so it was almost impossible to put down!
Though there is no clear resolve in the ending - I think it perfectly captures the tortured and twisted mindset of Irene and will no doubt plague my thoughts for a long time!

⚠️ Important to note that there a multitude of trigger warnings for this book (which I may not have categorised correctly, but they all come up) so this may not be appropriate for everyone and I’d recommend checking the warnings first ⚠️
