This was a very weird read. The atmosphere and prose was beautiful. The content however was disgusting and uneasy, full of bodily fluids, yet somehow erotic in a way that left me feeling nauseated. The writing was full of metaphors about temptation, boundaries, and perhaps depression and emotional dependence. I enjoyed this story and how uncomfortable it made me.
