panBased on the synopsis, I thought it would be a hilarious dark comedy. It wasn't. It was boring, repetitive, & dismal. The characters were all self-loathing. So completely flat that I found it hard to care about any of them or what they were going through. I can root for unlikable characters if I'm given some reason to. Here, there's no reason.
TW: suicide, animal death + graphic descriptions of taxidermy

rockpools Sounds delightful 😐 3y
wanderinglynn @rockpools I‘m surprised I actually made it all the way through. Although I do admit, I skimmed the more horrible bits. 3y
TheAromaofBooks I hate getting to the end of a book and wondering why I even read it! 3y

CaroPi Sorry that you didn't like it. 😕 I was waiting for your review before picking it up. Now I know I shouldn't. 3y
wanderinglynn @TheAromaofBooks I almost bailed but kept pushing through. Oh well, at least it‘s off my TBR shelf. 3y
wanderinglynn @CaroPi some of the taxidermy scenes were hard to read. Plus, about halfway through, the characters started killing animals to taxidermy. There was no real plot point to it and I felt it was unnecessarily cruel. 3y
Andrew65 Oh dear, shame it wasn‘t better. 3y
CaroPi Oh... Thanks for letting me know! I really don't like books were animals are kill. 3y
