Whoooosh! What an intense and dark book! I guess that's every Daniel Kraus book, which is why I keep reading them. Also for the gross descriptions, which there definitely are in here! All sorts of oozy, squishy, gory descriptions! And torture, which is actually quite intense so, trigger warning for that. Also TW for an abusive friendship. Kraus does a very good job at getting you into the MC's head, and sometimes that's a very scary place to be! Reading his books, like this one, is like reading and holding your breath because if the main character can't get a breather, neither can you, and you read feverishly fast in hopes that everything turns out okay for the MC-and you- in the end.
