Status Updates From The Unsuitable

It’s more Victorian body horror. The male counterpart that’s supposed to kick off all the issues has just arrived so I am hoping this book gets better. I am having a hard time getting thru it - all this self-mutilation is boring. And the protagonist is spoiled - living this comfortable life on her father’s dime and totally self-absorbed and beholden to no one. Basically a mentally deranged brat. Unlikable.

So, I'm going to quit at 20% because the body horror is a little much for me. This woman uses herself like a human pin cushion and then describes everything, especially wound care in explicit detail. It makes me feel gross. I never look forward to reading it.
