Summers offers readers a ghastly yet thrilling alternative to Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. The main character's predatory journey is filled with a psychological bounty of indulgence in lust and hunger. The juxtaposition of a colorful narrative is layered perfectly throughout by the black-and-white thought processes of the MC. I found myself lightheaded reading the obscure and bountiful adjectives that culminate into brilliant prose. I can't wait to reread this novel.
