I really loved some parts of this but I also really hated others. I read the first half at the start of the year then put it down for like 4 months until I could be bothered finishing it. I almost gave up multiple times but persevered… I can’t say I’m glad I did. This is the first time I’ve ever felt the need to add content warnings to a book because some parts are just really uncomfortable. It gets two stars for some of the prose and just for being absurd.
