So fucking weird. Read this for book club and I don’t think I’d pick up another book from this author … the writing was so graphic and gross at times, not really my cup of tea.
That being said, there were moments of this that I found quite funny? I both hated the main character and loved her and I was rooting for her despite her numerous flaws. Her relationship with herself and with Rebecca was really interesting to examine.
An odd one for sure!
