Holy fucking shit. One of the best horror novels that I have ever read, period. Loved the themes, loved the characters, loved the voice, loved the pacing. Loved everything, absolutely no notes. I enjoyed the gore, the plot, the twists, the dark humor, the grounding themes of women, aging, losing yourself and finding yourself. Phenomenonal.

It was a good and interesting story that did keep me engaged but it got a little too weird for my taste (almost to the point of being "silly").

I’m not sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. Weird. I didn’t love it but didn’t hate it either.

NGL dude this one was just too brutal for me. Felt too unwell to justify continuing reading after the cactus scene.

Akin to the works of Ottessa Moshfesh, this is an intimate, scary study of a disturbed character going through ordeals that are both relatable and horrifying.
