Chlorine by Jade Song
4.75
dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Excellently written. Story was told in such a fascinating and honest way that didn’t shy away from the horror and trauma of the Main Character. 

I only gave it a 4.75 as the body horror was more explicit than what I was comfortable with
I usually read about 50 pages per hour, it took me half an hour to get through the explicit depiction of the self mutilation/body horror in chapter15


Due to the very explicit depictions of
self mutilation
I don’t think I can stomachs a second read but I don’t think I can ever forget this book. It is a masterpiece not for the faint of heart.
