Hoo doggy. Toxic masculinity, fetishization of Asian culture, budding bisexualism if not lesbianism, watching your parents make terrible decisions. Family fate and (mis)fortune. Absent dads. A pedo. We really went somewhere in this book. Female serial killer who ultimately has a brain tumor? Body horror/food horror. Food gore? This wasn't what I expected but it was a romp and I'd read more from this author!
