This book is fucked up and I couldn’t put it down. It’s kinda slow and kinda gross in the beginning but picks up. Don’t eat while reading or listening to it

I wanted to like this more so badly. I listened to the audiobook and I think the narrators were not for me. The story was okay, kinda slow and confusing. Ending was disappointing.

If you’ve read any of her books, you know how frustrating the endings can be. That being said, I can’t stop reading all the books she has in this style. I very much enjoy the writing and pace of the books!
