Why should my heart ache for anyone but myself? If anyone was trapped and suffering and abused, it was me. I was the only one whose pain was real. Mine.

On the contrary, being kidnapped was something of a secret wish of mine. At least then I’d know that I mattered to someone, that I was of value. Violence made much more sense to me than any strained conversation.

I wondered what sort of ecstasy there was to be had without shame to incite it.

🎯Worthwhile
👍Worth reading
it was so good but some of the themes were definitely lost on me, some of it was also kinda gross
I read the summary and I thought it was about a 13 y.o boy going in an adventure. I mean I'm right but I didn't expect it to be gruesome and I didn't know who Ottessa Moshfegh was 😭 it was good tho it just catched me super off guard
