I have complicated feelings about this one. And I still don't really know if I loved or hated it. I said I would come back to this review once I gathered my full thoughts and figure out exactly how I feel. But I don't see that happen so lets just get into this.
This book is weird and campy and fun. It also made me really uncomfortable. There is rape in the book. There is a lot of sexual horror which I am not a huge fan of. This book is just horny for no reason sometimes. This is definitely a character driven book and plot feels irrelevant honestly. Which sucks because I didn't like any of the characters (I'm not entirely sure I'm suppose to). I don't think I am familiar enough with splatter punk or post apocalyptic genre to say if this is good or not.
I don't think this book was for me. I don't really think it was written for me either (cis/queer/female). I think this book is probably good, just not good to me. Its probably really good for the audience its meant for which I think is trans splatter punk fans.
