I found this one very hard to read but it was very rewarding when I finished it. It took me almost a month to finish this (between all the exams I had to take). The first and last lines really stuck with me. There were many times when all I could say was "wtf" with a disgusted face AHAHAHHAHAHA. Overall, it was a good read but I think I'm going to need more explaining bc yes.

What the hell did I just read? Not only does this book not have any plot whatsoever, but it also seamlessly normalizes sexism, violence, cheating, incest, animal abuse, child abuse and pedophilia. And is there even a single likeable character in the whole story? In my opinion they’re all shamelessly terrible people. 

Its only merit is that it is well written, but that can’t save it from me giving it 1 star.
