I think it’s overhyped- it’s not a bad book, but it was not for me. I didn’t like “Karen’s” chapters at all, as they didn’t sound like a woman could write them- very much a male author who doesn’t know how portray a young woman’s voice. The last 4 chapters seemed especially rushed, like the author had run out of steam and wanted to put in as many twists and f*cked up things as possible.
Graphic: Body horror, Violence, Blood, and Vomit
Moderate: Death, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Forced institutionalization, Excrement, and Alcohol
