i will admit this book is not great in terms of other things like plot storytelling prose i would not recommend this book if you're looking for a fine piece of literature but if you are looking for a fascinating messed up relationship at the core of the story and something that i haven't seen written like this in other places it's a fantastic exploration of a really toxic situation
