Reviews with content warning for Injury/Injury detail - Nightbitch

This book is real weird. Nightbitch is a former artist and current stay at home mom who is struggling to understand how stay at home moms stay sane without adult activities. As her husband is usually away during the week and unhelpful during the weekend, Nightbitch beings to imagine her attitude and temper is because she's turning into a dog. This book is dense. As 75% of the characters don't have names and the quarter that do are mostly named Jen, its a lot of third person narratives and pronouns. On top of the hard to keep track of characters, this book is feminist in a super cool and weird way but also so incredibly off putting. She is literally a "bitch" but she also doesn't care. Im not sure who I would recommend this too but I think with the right audience it would be a hit.

This is a weird book, and I really enjoyed it. I did have to pause to process a particularly traumatic scene, but I wouldn’t say it was an unnecessary scene. It is dark, primal, and a strange insight into the role of women, female rage, and the power to overcome what is expected of us. I would say this is a feminist book, but it’s a feminist take you have not read before.

Horrific and feral. Absolutely loved it. Felt like a book ripped straight from my performance art classes in uni - and even referenced artists I studied! Feminist, artsy, and anti-MLM.
