A review by jessica_flower
Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh
dark
sad
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
2.0
CW/TW: incest, on-page rape, cannibalism, death, violence, misogyny, incredibly masochistic views of religion, abuse and trauma, a disturbing amount of bodily fluids, graphic descriptions of anything and everything
What in the absolute fuckery was this
A mess of fucked up characters to talk about God and theology in the most masochistic way possible?
The only reason this isn't 1 star is because Otessa's writing is good
But
This shit is fucked up and I will never read this again
Do not recommend unless you can handle reading terrible things happening over and over with no hope or peace in sight
