Edited to add: I actually noped out when the narrator said his mouth tasted of "bourbon and ennui". The cream puff dick was just the cherry on top.

As soon as his dick was described like a cream puff I was out of there

House as metaphor for generational trauma and poverty! Female rage and revenge! Class consciousness! Incredible writing! What more could you want??

“Sometimes his very existence to me is the existence of love itself.” 🥹

Was sitting at around three stars until the second half of the book, which brought my rating up to four stars. The ending left me REELING.
Would recommend reading this physically, as I wasn't the biggest fan of the audiobook narrator.

Best poetry collection I’ve read this year!

Bumping this up to five stars because I can't stop thinking about it.

Everyone in this book is absolutely exhausting. The main character is the most whiny, insufferable protagonist I have ever read. All of that meandering, and for WHAT?

I think this is meant to be more of a coffee table book than a read-in-one-sitting book, but I enjoyed it! I got my copy from the library and I’d love to buy a copy now for my, you guessed it, coffee table.
