Pickpick

A surreal, dreamlike read about childhoods full of abuse - emotional, mostly, but not exclusively – and how that shapes the future of the people affected.
Natsuki is a pensive child who feels she doesn't fit in – into her family as a child, into society and human life as an adult. The childhood friendship/relationship with her cousin Yuu and her family's reaction to an occurrence on a summer night affects & alters her whole life.
...

Yuki_Onna Disconnectedness, aliens, humanity, sexuality, escapism, pressures and expectations of society, family ties gone wrong, fertility, different ways of perception, dreams, murder, detachedness, pure concepts of life on this planet, delusion, cannibalism all blend together in this brutal disgusting gorgeous gem of a book. Dark, brave, gritty.
4,5****
(check for your Trigger Warnings before picking it up - there are tons of them!!!)

Eggs Perfect!! 2y
Yuki_Onna @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Right? The cover belies the content, however... I had seen the movie before, so I knew what was going to happen, but it still was - urgh...
Both book and movie are worth it if you don't mind a few triggers.
Major #AmericanPsycho vibes - an intentionally very slow and dry start with an unsettling premise - and a very violent and brutal twist and spiralling into horror...

As maybe some of you know, Marilyn is my absolute queen. I've got a quote by her tattooed on my thigh, which is just *true*...
