I enjoy Megan Abbott's ability to draw on fear from symbolism, partnered with the threat of human nature and the paranormal. I love her writing!

that being said i really liked the journey. this book is a lesson in how a normal life can take a couple of turns into Uber-weird and horrifying, and how close and familiar those creepy pro-choice conservatives really are at all times. people like that tend to feel mythical and easy to write off as bible thumpers harassing people outside of PP, but realistically those people are all around us & hidden amongst seemingly sane individuals. spooky and tummy-upsetting. Jacy made a lot of really wild choices but almost all of them stemmed from a need for companionship; a pretty universal feeling that got her into a world of trouble.
also: this book felt like it was ramping up to some sort of supernatural point so I was a bit let down there too. what the fuck was up with the pasties
