It was attention grabbing and it kept me wanting to know what will happen. Some of the descriptive language was really quite incredible (in the less icky bits). But it was also just so profoundly weird and off putting. I feel like I would’ve enjoyed it more if it was longer and the absurdity developed over time, very 0 to 100 real quick. An uncomfortable read but a read I still think was worth reading?

Ultimately I couldn’t stomach this book. If I had a stronger stomach, I think I wouldn’t liked this book more.
The meat is what got me.

I expected it to be written differently, but it didn't hinder my ability to enjoy the story. I found Agnes and Zoe's relationship to be fascinating alongside Agnes' descent into madness. I do wish there had been an aftermath, or just a longer story. I wish it hadn't gone so fast since I really wanted their relationship to slowly build into horror, but yk. We can't win everything.
All in all, a great story. I'm excited to see similar works by LaRocca. :3c
