Loved this book. Beautifully disgusting. The ending is absolutely amazing, and the last paragraph is too. 

“When they finally did dare it, at first with stolen glances and then candid ones, they had to smile. They were uncommonly proud. For the first time they had done something out of love.“ 

Strange reading this while I have covid and am losing my sense of smell. A great book that I read at a strange time.
