A very neat short book. Surprisingly romantic to me, at the end. Don’t read if you can’t handle some body horror, but honestly it didn't feel like it was presented for shock factor, I felt sort of how Louise did about it - chill, not disgusted, it was just another part of the story. I felt like the sentences were hard to parse at the beginning, took a few pages before I got the hang of it, and things got way more fluid as I read on.
