with the rise of #booktok everybody just wants a book with x trope. nyt bestsellers will be badly written fantasy novels popular with tha youth because they tick a bunch of boxes. smut enemies to lovers worldbuilding blablabla.... whatever happened to reading a sentence that completely rocks ur soul........... (got high ln and revisited chuck palahniuk and gillian flynn again. i like writing that feels #sharp)

i read this book in early 2022. i saw it on tiktok. im admittedly not a huge reader, and books i do read seriously have to surprise me to keep me entertained. im the same with movies.
i spent months trying to track down a physical copy of this book. tiktok would never reveal too much, it really just appeared in haul videos and the comments would talk about it like a secret club. i wanted in.
i eventually gave up and read it on my phone. i wish i waited.
things have gotten worse since we last spoke is hard to explain. its the most pathetic, entrancing, and unforeseen story i have ever read. i sincerely hope someone has read this and recommends me something even more insane because ive been chasing this high ever since i read it.
the story is told over a length chatlogs shared between two women (more points for lesbians). i dont want to say much because half of the thrill of this book is discovering whats really behind those fucking emails but its a basically psychological thriller romance. dark psychological thriller romance with body horror elements but thats all im telling.
my favorite sentence ever is in from book. what have you done today to deserve your eyes? i think about it once a day. its my bio for like everything.
seriously, read this if your into the macabre. especially gay body horror stuff.

so i tend to go for something short when i’m in a slump as it’s less daunting
this isn’t the best book i’ve ever read or anything but it’s a wild ride i couldn’t put it down

whenever i’m away from this app i’m like… I have nothing to post. And then it reminds me that maybe i’m a little miserable and infected by haterism and that’s why I can’t think of anything to recommend to all of u fellow friends. reminding myself of things I like n enjoy is kind of like reminding urself of everything ur grateful for :)
