4.0

This was a read pretty far outside of my comfort zone. It is an incredibly well executed depiction of so many things - love, despair, obsession, distinction and disgust. I think some of the themes were easier for me to tolerate than usual because I have a personal history with abusive and manipulative queer relationships and have experienced severe manipulation. However, some of the more graphic descriptions
(primarily the portion about preparing and eating the spoiled meat to contract the parasite)
I had to skim over because they were too much to stomach.
