I picked this up at a charity shop after reading Nothing but Blackened Teeth and disliking it with the goal of giving another Khaw novella a shot. Definitely enjoyed this one more, especially the characters. Funny how an inhuman character can feel more human than a human one.

This is one of those books my therapist told me to read and I kept putting it off. I would like to say that my therapist was, again, very correct. This book was super helpful.
