I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer's program, and I'm grateful to the publisher for the opportunity to read this. 

Which is not to say I liked this very much? Many other reviews have noted the extremely graphic descriptions of self harm, and I'll add a spoiler-ed warning for

on page suicide

but overall I also just didn't find it very interesting? I think the pitch of "gothic horror meets Victorian manners" book to me begs a little more comedy than there is room for in this book, which has like maybe one moment that gave me hope but otherwise did not feel that way. 

It just felt deeply graphic in a way I did not personally enjoy--and normally I wouldn't object to that kind of thing, but it didn't feel like it added very much to the story either.

Also the plot twist at the end did not seem to me to then lead to the conclusion it did? It just seemed weird? I hoped for a second that it wasn't going to end the way it did but then... it did.

You might like this if you need some gory gothic horror! It ultimately wasn't for me.
