“Challenging” is certainly a way to describe this book — Dorothy’s POV is fascinating, albeit brutal and intense to follow. The narrative of this story binds immaculate images of food closely with Dorothy’s violent acts and thoughts in a way that leaves you feeling uncomfortably hungry given the context. I was so desperate to continue reading at times that I checked out an ebook from my local library to continue on the go. Read at your own risk, but those who dare will be rewarded.
