challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

This will be a book like nothing you’ve ever read before. Expect to hate the main character, read a lot of sex scenes, and suspend your disbelief when the plot takes a surrealist twist.

Please heed the trigger warnings, but if you think you’re in the right headspace then this is a thought provoking read.
