Parasocial by Alex de Campi, Erica Henderson
3.0

This is a decent misery knockoff.

I really like what the artist did with the imagery, especially when things change completely based on the person's view point. I also enjoyed that there are no "good" characters, everyone is a piece of shit or a psycho, fun times. Alex De Campi dialogue is solid enough even if her insufferable rants online and at the end of the books annoy the shit out of me, and that's coming from a liberal myself, she's just complains and complains. This isn't a woman thing either, plenty of men bitch too, it's just Alex is LOUD and annoying.

Anyway overall for a misery knockoff it's fun and it has some great brutal moments. The art is the selling point but it's worth checking out for a quick read.
