quite bizarre piece of writing, finished it few days ago and can't really wrap my head around it. i definitely keep on thinking about it. i loved the beginning and i thought it was so intruging and it was what i expected it to be, an exploration of consequences that come when husband's wife decides to become a vegetarian but throughout the book it gets more twisted, bizarre, weird and starts shifting to a completely different narrative and topics. i don't know if i loved that. it was for sure an interesting read but as i said bizarre.
