What I wish I loved
OK, I'm admitting defeat. Officially calling it, but I will not be reading, or at least buying, this author's work anymore. I came incredibly close to DNFing this but kept going simply because it's so short.
I wish I loved this weird, little story and these bizarre characters, and this horrific setting, but none of it mattered to me. Not the beginning or any of the middles or the, what I'm assuming was supposed to be a shocking end.
