My intake of this book is heavy onto the thoughts of the character that resonates a lot with me instead of its unsettling plot. I live by the writing. Its complex yet comprehensible, engulfed into beautiful words that make up unforgettable sentences. I do feel some characters are quite one-dimensional, especially the love interest. There's a lot of messages that remain to this day, where people still direct their anger towards women due to their own cause of jealousy, and how men still driven by lust, even in the absence of love. One word to say, it is twisted, but I'm impressed with the author's thoughts into women's head though some views he has on humanity is questionable.
